Question

Mount 1TB Ext HD FreeBSD 6.1

Asked by: braker15

I'm using freebsd 6.1

The Drive shows up as Umass1

I tried 'sysinstall' -> fdisk but the drive doesn't show up there.

I'm not sure how to mount this drive... any ideas (I can't reboot the machine as it is a production server)?

11:59:22[root]  ~ $ camcontrol devlist -v
scbus0 on umass-sim0 bus 0:

You can try the following command:

mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/

Look in /dev if this does not work.  It may be/dev/da1s1, or something similar.
Presuming the drive is new, it is probably formatted as FAT32.  If not, valid filesystem types are cd9660, msdosfs, nfs, nfs4, ntfs, nwfs, nullfs, portalfs, smbfs, udf, unionfs
Or no option for ufs

Here is an (untested) article describing how to use the automount daemon:

by: braker15Posted on 2009-03-03 at 21:46:29ID: 23791990

it is currently NTFS, however, I definitely need it to be UFS.  I have PC-BSD, Fedora 10, and Ubuntu 8.10 machines... do you think they could format the drive UFS?  Would that make detection easier?

Also, there is currently a 300GB USB drive attached to the freebsd 6.1 machine... i'm not sure if that makes a difference.  I'll try your suggestions tomorrow.

 

by: braker15Posted on 2009-03-04 at 11:45:33ID: 23798557

it can't see the device... not sure what is going on here... this is from var/log/messages (i had unplugged a 300gb usb drive and plugged the 1tb drive in to the usb port it was just in (because when i had them both plugged it it wouldn't recognize)).

here is an example of me unplugging the 1TB drive, plugging in the 300GB drive, then plugging in the 1TB drive

(it looks like the 300GB drive is read as da0, and the 1TB drive is read as umass1)

The da0 drive shows up fine in sysinstall, but i don't see any umass in sysinstall.  btw i formatted the 1tb drive to be ufs2 using pc-bsd before i connected it

 

by: braker15Posted on 2009-03-04 at 23:17:43ID: 23803149

Update, The 1TB drive shows as da0 on Freebsd 7.01 pre-release (w/PC-BSD), i can mount it fine there through sysinstall.

The drive still shows as 'umass1' in Freebsd 6.01 and it is never assigned a da0/da1 name.  Perhaps the O/S version can't handle a drive that big?  

Note: I successfully mounted a 120gb, 250gb, and 300gb drive on the Freebsd 6.01 O/S

 

by: gheistPosted on 2009-03-10 at 07:35:33ID: 23847159

It is not about size supported. I have 3TB array working with da driver.
BUT you should report this as a bug - umass driver needs some quirk for Jmicron disk cradle you have.

 

by: gheistPosted on 2009-04-20 at 14:05:31ID: 24188708

Is it on its way to get repaired?

 

by: braker15Posted on 2009-04-20 at 17:24:00ID: 24189865

i just bought a 750GB drive.... eventually i realized that backing up the server via USB 1.1 was slow painful death so i set up a PC Linux O/S server and NFS, mounted it as a share on my freebsd 6.1 server, then just did a recursive 'svnadmin hotcopy' to the nfs mount.  

at that point i pulled the disks, installed the new ones (set up raid container, etc)... fought all kinds of issues with raid5 ... eventually went to raid1 and everything worked.

thanks for the tips though!
