I recently (late last week) switched over to Julian Elischer's
SCSI subsystem and it's been wonderful. Response times seem to
have become slightly better and stability is greatly improved.
I can even reliably use my QIC150 tape (not possible with as.c)
But, just 10 minutes ago, my 1.0GB drive went away and any attempt
to access it resulted in lots of "sd1 timeout" messages. I had to
reboot to get it back. But now the swap space on sd1 is not coming
up. When /etc/rc does a "swapon -a" it says "/dev/sd1b: device not
configured". This has always worked before. I thought that the
"crash" might have wiped out my disklabel, but a disklabel -r sd1
results in:
type: SCSI
disk: 94601
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 32
tracks/cylinder: 64
sectors/cylinder: 2048
cylinders: 992
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds
drivedata: 0
4 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 1990656 40960 4.2BSD 512 4096 11 # (Cyl. 20 - 991)
b: 40960 0 swap # (Cyl. 0 - 19)
c: 2031616 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 991)
d: 2031616 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 991)
which is exactly what I set up this drive for.
Some background info that might be relevant:
machine: 386-40, adaptec 1542B, Julian's SCSI subsystem, sd0 is
a 320MB SCSI (works fine), sd1 is a 1.0GB external SCSI
I also have an Archive VP150e external tape drive as st0.
I've used Terry's patchkit and installed ALL patches in
my kernel.
/etc/fstab:
/dev/sd0a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/sd0h /usr ufs rw 1 2
/dev/sd1a /big ufs rw 1 3
/dev/sd1b swap swap sw 0 0
on reboot, I get the following message from the SCSI subsystem
Sep 23 11:08:46 nevis /386bsd: aha0 reading board settings, 150 nSEC ok, use 200 nSEC

ANY help is greatly appreciated! I really want my swap space back!
I was compiling X11R5 when this happened and I really want to get back
to finishing it. (I'll make the X11R5 binaries and patched sources
available if I get a good make World finished)
