So - I took the plunge, and have sucessfully spun up a 7506-8 under FreeBSD 5.2.1. # df /dev/twed0s1 Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/twed0s1 1324492798 444478178 774055198 36% /backups Eight drives under RAID5, hurray. I'm now exploring the misc management tools, with middling success, but I'd love some feedback on what other people have successfully gotten to fly: - I've spun up 3dm, but, for the life of me, can't get it to send me email. No errors, just silently doesn't do it. :/ - I've installed the smartmontools-5.22_1 package, but get this sort of diagnostic: # smartctl -a -d 3ware,0 /dev/twe0 smartctl version 5.22 Copyright (C) 2002-3 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Smartctl open device: /dev/twe0 failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device # smartctl -a -d 3ware,0 /dev/da0 smartctl version 5.22 Copyright (C) 2002-3 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ smartmontools 5.22 does not currentlly support TWE devices (3ware Escalade) Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device) A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. This seems rather contrary to the docs in the package... - This very thread I've replied to implies a 3dm2 out there, but I could find no reference on 3ware's site. Was this something I imagined? I suppose calling 3ware's support would be a next step for me... -- Brian Reichert <reichert_at_numachi.com> 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA BSD admin/developer at largeReceived on Wed Sep 29 2004 - 20:40:37 UTC
