Problems with raid5

[fvdw]

Ata1 seems to be up , what does

Code: Select all

fdisk -l

gives as output

[samrise]

Nothing:

Code: Select all

root@(none):/ # fdisk -l
root@(none):/ #


[fvdw]

Mmm...and if you put it second slot?

[samrise]

Code: Select all

root@(none):/ # dmesg | grep ata2
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 mmio m1048576@0xe8000000 port 0xe8024000 irq 52
ata2: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
root@(none):/ # fdisk -l
root@(none):/ #

This could be a faulty disk.
It is not the one with tge fvdw-sl firmware if I understand correctly(?)
If so please put in the one with firmware in slot 1 fire up standalone kernel and again use fdisk

I was trying with a new disk because the first one was not being recognized. Here it goes:

Thats not a good sign.
In your dmesg output I see a lot of output in pci bus I need to fire up my pc to see if it is normal. Hopefully we are not facing a hardware issue here.
In the meantime you could try to use the u-boot console (part of fvdw-sl console) and leave the firmware disk in slot 1.
At uboot command line give command

Code: Select all

ide reset

and see if it finds the disk. To list partition info under uboot we need to use the command part if I rember well. But it has been a while and I need to checj

[samrise]

Code: Select all

Marvell>> ide reset
ide reset

Reset IDE:
Marvell Serial ATA Adapter
Found adapter at bus 1, device 7 ... Scanning channels
[0 0]: failed to perform ATA Identify command
Failed initializing storage deivce connected to SATA channel 0

Marvell>>

[fvdw]

:?

Does the disk power up ? It must start spinning. If that fails it *could* be a power supply issue

[fvdw]

I check the pci output but thats normal

But in the dmesg out put I have I see sda being connected to ata5 ??
