Does any body have Segate drive ST380021A working with FreeBSD?
Does any body have problems with it running 5.2-5.current or other versions of FreeBSD?

Hi,

I have some problems with my HDD (ST380021A). The problem was checked on 5.2, 5.2.1, and some
5.Current (cvsuped about week or two).


At first I got this problem while system installation. I get trap and message from ata after I start a commit:
FAILURE READ_DMA status=51 <READY, DSC, ERROR> error=10 <NID_NOT_FOUND> LBA=245529601



If I read the above modelnumber correctly it is a 80G disk..


There is only ~160000000 sectors on such a disk, so you cant expect to read sector 245529601 as its not there :)


I know that, and this is the problem. I am trying to read 41929650, but system thinks this is 245529601.
This sector is near 20G mark, so I tried to read it from 40G disk, which I use to run fbsd. All is fine.



Now why sysinstall tries to do that is beyond me, but could be a problem with the geometry (it seems to always get it wrong these days).


This is not a problem of sysinstall at all. As I wrote, it is enougth to try to read one sector. So this problem
somewhere between read call and ata driver. This area wasn't in focus of my interest before, so I don't
know where to go.


Also, I tryied to read some sectors back and forward, and found out that value of LBA changes nolinear.
Lower byte is linear only on interval of 63 values, so I gues this is a sector value. And it seems that LBA value
not LBA value at all :-(


This is all I have now. Any ideas, comments?
