trying to setup a sata drive using a sata to scsi adaptor
trying to setup a sata drive using a sata to scsi adaptor
I have a sata 1TB Deskstar that I had setup before and during shipment from a facilty to another, the disk failed. The handling was not great, lots of throwing boxes, etc. I have a new disk from Hitachi (thankyou Hitachi) anyway, I don't have the procedure that I had before when I managed to make the 1TB drive work fine with my E250. Do you have anyway to make the newfs work with this disk? It seems to get stuck with the cylinders. It says initalilizing cylinders and stops!
Do you know what is happening?
I set byte size as 8192 and fragsize at 8192 and inode at 22048.
Any ideas?
darn, it worked fine before................this making me ....yeah whatever

Hi All:
I am using an adaptor between a 1TB SATA hard drive and solaris 8 box with 68 pin scsi. I use the format utility to partition the HD which works fine but when I use newfs, I get some errors. I will place them below.

I'm thinking about suggesting my boss to go for sata adapter and SSD, instead of buying new SCSI drives for SPARC.
out here, a brand new 70Gb SCSI drive is about 100euros, and 140Gb is 200eur! (for that price, one could probably buy the adapter.)
has anyone tried it?
how well do modern... (1 Reply)

Hello everybody,
I need to connect a laptop 2.5 SATA hard drive to a Desktop board (which uses 3.5' SATA hard drives). I've tried the connectors and they fit excellent in the 2.5 SATA connectors.
The problem is that the laptop hard drive uses 5v and the PC's power source sends 12v. So, my... (4 Replies)

CD(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual CD(9)
NAME
cd -- CDROM driver for the CAM SCSI subsystem
DESCRIPTION
The cd device driver provides a read only interface for CDROM drives (SCSI type 5) and WORM drives (SCSI type 4) that support CDROM type com-
mands. Some drives do not behave as the driver expects. See the QUIRKS section for information on possible flags.
QUIRKS
Each CD-ROM device can have different interpretations of the SCSI spec. This can lead to drives requiring special handling in the driver.
The following is a list of quirks that the driver recognize.
CD_Q_NO_TOUCH This flag tell the driver not to probe the drive at attach time to see if there is a disk in the drive and find out what
size it is. This flag is currently unimplemented in the CAM cd driver.
CD_Q_BCD_TRACKS This flag is for broken drives that return the track numbers in packed BCD instead of straight decimal. If the drive seems
to skip tracks (tracks 10-15 are skipped) then you have a drive that is in need of this flag.
CD_Q_NO_CHANGER This flag tells the driver that the device in question is not a changer. This is only necessary for a CDROM device with
multiple luns that are not a part of a changer.
CD_Q_CHANGER This flag tells the driver that the given device is a multi-lun changer. In general, the driver will figure this out auto-
matically when it sees a LUN greater than 0. Setting this flag only has the effect of telling the driver to run the initial
read capacity command for LUN 0 of the changer through the changer scheduling code.
CD_Q_10_BYTE_ONLY
This flag tells the driver that the given device only accepts 10 byte MODE SENSE/MODE SELECT commands. In general these
types of quirks should not be added to the cd(4) driver. The reason is that the driver does several things to attempt to
determine whether the drive in question needs 10 byte commands. First, it issues a CAM Path Inquiry command to determine
whether the protocol that the drive speaks typically only allows 10 byte commands. (ATAPI and USB are two prominent exam-
ples of protocols where you generally only want to send 10 byte commands.) Then, if it gets an ILLEGAL REQUEST error back
from a 6 byte MODE SENSE or MODE SELECT command, it attempts to send the 10 byte version of the command instead. The only
reason you would need a quirk is if your drive uses a protocol (e.g., SCSI) that typically does not have a problem with 6
byte commands.
