 Can I just
 
 bsdlabel -n da0s1  savedabel.txt
 
 Edit savedlabel.txt, switch and restore? (bsdlabel -R da0s1 savedlabel)

Why not simply use bsdlabel -e da0s1?

Kind regards,

Re: iir(4) driver (Was: Re: Safe card to replace for ICP Vortex GDT851...)

2006-08-02 Thread Patrick M. Hausen
Hi, Scott!

 Ok guys, time for a small breather here.  All these claims about
 EoE and orphanage and whatnot are a bit premature and underinformed.

I only stated that according to ICP Vortex Germany the
GDT products are EOE and ICP Vortex will not provide an
updated driver for FreeBSD. Nothing more.
I talked to the person on the phone right before I sent my mail
to the list.

And that orphanage part depended on a big IF nobody is willing
to work on it.

Hi!

On Mon, Jul 31, 2006 at 10:49:27PM -0300, User Freebsd wrote:

 Official word from Adaptec is that FreeBSD is no longer a supported

 suitable replacement for the card ...

That's really really bad news. Oddly, ICP Vortex Germany told me
the opposite wr/t to their new line of cards. They said, they
were working on full FreeBSD support. I'll check what they have
to say about the GDT controllers. We run typo3.org on four
heavily loaded systems with these cards. We did not update to
6.x yet, because of fear of the mythical NFS deadlocks.
Now things seem to get even worse.

 So, can anyone recommend a card to replace this with?  Its a remote 
 server, so I'm looking for something that will be plug-n-play, same slot 
 that the GDT is in ... I realize that I'll have to reformat the server 
 afterwards ...

We just ordered this box here:

http://www.intel.com/design/servers/storage/ssr212cc/

It contains two Intel SRCS28X RAID Controllers, that are supposedly
supported by the amr driver and the Linux Megamgr utility.

The system should arrive in about two weeks - if you're interested,
I'll keep you updated.

OK - so here's the deal:

The GDT products are officially EOE (End Of Engineering).
ICP Vortex will not provide capacity to update their own
driver for FreeBSD 6.

The new products will feature full FreeBSD support, eventually.
(couple of weeks, he said)

Technically, the ICP guy was quite confident, that ICP's
own driver for FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x didn't show the problems
we have on FreeBSD 6 with the FreeBSD iir driver.
He recommended using ICP's driver source as a reference when
trying to fix the FreeBSD 6 driver.

I'm not a kernel developer so I cannot really comment on this.

2006-08-01 Thread Patrick M. Hausen
Hello!

 'k, just to clarify here ... the new products won't be based on the iir(4) 
 driver then?

Yes, they won't.

 Basically, should the iir(4) driver be considered EOE also?

As far as Adaptec and ICP Vortex are concerned, yes. Since the
driver is Open Source, there is no enforced EOE, just orphanage,
if nobody is willing to work on it.
