Disks are not recognized with 8.2-RELEASE :-( AFAIK Perc H 200 should be supported by mps(4) which wasn't merged to stable/8 until after 8.2. Any ideas? If this works with 8-stable, where can I download an ISO Image? Unfortunately the latest official snapshots were before the driver was merged. You could try first just to boot on the curent / FreeBSD 9 snapshots and see if it sees your disks at all. You can get the snapshot from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201102/ . I don't think there are any other snapshot services still running... so (assuming mps(4) actually works with H200) you need to make a build of stable/8 yourself - the simplest approach is probably to PXE boot the servers and install by hand... but that's of course not a trivial thing if you never tried it before. I suspect there will be new official snapshots at some point, but I don't know when... -- Simon L. B.

My goal was to bring to the attention of the community that a large number of storage/AHCI/SATA-related MFCs had been done, and request that people (if possible) rebuild world/kernel to make sure all of their stuff still works.

Re: Large number of SATA commits (MFCs) to RELENG_8
Hello, Jeremy Chadwick!

I would advocate that folks rebuild world/kernel and make sure there aren't any issues seen, or any quirks which were previously needed are no longer. I haven't gone through *all* of the commits yet, but I do see some controller-centric things that got MFC'd, such as disabling of NCQ support on multiport Marvell 88SX61XX to relieve I/O timeouts when doing lots of I/O (common with ZFS). Below are the commits. Users should absolutely use cvsweb or similar tools to examine the commit message and see if anything relevant to their storage subsystems was modified. I have no problems with yesturday build world+kernel. All compiled ok and system boots ok. But I have 1 question, why needed src/UPDATING? There are a lot of changes in the tree since release date and there are no one in that file. May be we need another one file, like src/ChangeLog ? ;-) -- Lystopad Olexandr ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
