FW: Data corruption with Ide Raid Card
Hi, On our dev environnement, we have a clone server with a Promise FastTrak Tx2000 Pata Raid Card When we installed freebsd, it got detected and I didn't do anything special during the installation. Yesterday, a hard drive failed. Freebsd crashed with write errors on screen. I rebooted and removed the hard drive marked as dead in the raid controller. Freebsd booted up no problem, but I lost a couple of tables in some databases in mysql. Is there anything I forgot/did wrong to get into this problem ? or is it just that these controllers are so crappy that explain the corruption ? I more used to scsi hardware raid controllers in freebsd and never had a data corruption problem before even when disk died or because we hot-removed them. Any idea ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

IDE Raid Card
Could someone suggest an IDE controller card that I could boot off of? I just want to do RAID 1 with 2 disks but don't want to buy one and then find out it doesn't work. I'm running the latest 4-STABLE. Thanks, Richard ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: IDE Raid Card
I've successfully used the 3-WARE Escalade series. http://www.3ware.com FreeBSD recognizes it in the GENERIC kernel with the twe driver.

Re: IDE Raid Card
3ware 7200 is my favorite. http://www.hypermicro.com/store/raid_adap.htm, the 7200-2. It works really well with FreeBSD. e.g. shell1# df Filesystem1K-blocks UsedAvail Capacity Mounted on /dev/twed0s1a61483065644 5012%/ /dev/twed0s1g 39225660 11567212 2452039632%/home /dev/twed0s1e 2064302 2100 1897058 0%/tmp /dev/twed0s1h 10610444 1956728 780488220%/usr /dev/twed0s1f 4129310 1347882 245108435%/var procfs440 100%/proc shell1# The monitoring program works very well too (/usr/ports/sysutils/3dm). It does pretty well everything you want for monitoring. ---Mike At 11:24 AM 21/08/2003 -0500, Richard Lucas wrote: Could someone suggest an IDE controller card that I could boot off of?

I'm running the latest 4-STABLE. Hi, I use Promise FastTrak TX2 with great success for RAID 1 with two disks. Worked right away with the GENERIC kernel. A cheap card that does exactly what I want. I can probe the array status with atacontrol which is pretty much enough for me.
