Hi,

Has anyone tried out the 250 GB drives from Western Digital (like the WD2500BEVE)? I have generally used the 120GB Toshiba or Hitachi in sets of 2.

While reading comments about drive reliability (Newegg), the Western Digital comments were generally not complimetary.

Were there any difficulty in using the Bigdisk builder during the install or was it as silky smooth as I experienced with my multiple Empegs and 120GB drives?

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Ross

ISTR you'll definitely need the hijack with LBA-48 support - the 120GB drives are under this limit and so don't need it.

Apart from that... good luck...!

Yeah. My BigDisk builder images include Hijack for the LBA48 support, and should work (with a tad of luck).

The real question becomes, what new player software limitations will be encountered with these..

Hi,

Guess who's trying to install 250 GB drives?

Right, having a little trouble with it.


I have followed (I think) the big disk build in the FAQ.

I used your big disk builder (created 09/28/2006) that I had great success with ror multiple 120 GB drives.

This formatted (I assume it also partitions it too), the drive and stressed the disk successfully.

I then used the new hijack car2_v2.01_hijack (created 06/23/07) as directed in the FAQ.

After the reboot, it found the drive but not the file system (see attached). This occurred after several attempts.

I also tried to partition it manually from another FAQ, which seemed to work, but I had trouble with formatting the drive. I eventually scribbled on the boot partition and started over with your programs.


Here's where I get embarrassed now, what am I missing? I know, I know you warned us all that there might be problems with this size drive...

Have others been successful with 250 GB drives?

Got any ideas?

Thanks,

Ross

You said you used:

- Builder (bigdisk)
- Hijack (latest)

Somewhere after using the builder, you're supposed to put on the actual *player software*, which is different from the builder. The serial output seems to indicate you did do that, but you didn't say which one you used. Anyway, Mark made a bigdisk version of the player software installation, make sure you used that.

It really looks as if the kernel currently installed isn't a (newish) Hijack one -- except that it *is*.

I'll look around and see if I can find a 250-300GB IDE drive here to connect up, and see if the LBA48 support works for me here with that.

I don't think it's been tested on anything other than a 160GB drive when I first implemented/tested it here.

Does anyone out there know of any empeg with a 160GB or larger drive installed ????

Cheers

Ross,

Connect up a serial cable, and hit Control^C to get a command prompt on the empeg. Then do this:

cat /proc/partitions

and this:

fdisk -l

And post the outputs of those.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, I followed Mark's new instructions in the FAQ.

I installed hijack 488 prior to any install as the instructions indicate. Then the Big Disk Builder, then the player hijack that was recommended.

I thought the player software was the car2.v2.01_hijack.

I have tried this on 2 different known good Rio's and 2 different disk drive cables. I have completed the above install and tried v2b13 Hijack as well.

I started with a new 250 GB drive.

Here is the result of the above requests:

<CTRL C>

Restored terminal settings
Remounting first music partition read-only
No primary hard disk
Remounting second music partition read-only
No secondary hard disk
Abnormal player termination
Player received SIGINT, user interruption
Switching to shell-player loop
Starting bash.

Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device
E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda (for the first IDE disk)
or: fdisk /dev/sdc (for the third SCSI disk)
or: fdisk /dev/eda (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive)
or: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0 or: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0 (for RAID devices)
...

I assume this is what you really wanted.


empeg:/empeg/bin# fdisk /dev/hda -l

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 16709 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 5 40131 5 Extended
/dev/hda2 6 10 40162+ 83 Linux

/dev/hda4 14 16709 134110620 83 Linux
/dev/hda5 1 3 24034+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 4 5 16033+ 82 Linux swap
empeg:/empeg/bin#


These were the same partition assignments that I got when I manually partitioned the drive too.

By the way, if anyone else is trying to upgrade to these drives, they seem to be in short supply.

Thanks for the help,

Ross

hi,

One other thing that might be worth mentioning is that when the player powers up, it looks like a blank music partition as in "End of playlist" and obviously, emplode doesn't see the player although the PC host recognizes the USB port cable being installed.

Yeah. The log messages indicate that the kernel doesn't see a formatted music partition on /dev/hda4. But the builder ought to have created/formatted that, so something is amiss.

No worries, though. We do have the expertise in house for this sort of thing. smile

At some point soon, I'll dig out a suitably large drive and run through the motions with it on one of the empegs here. And then fix whatever might be wrong.

It may take a week or three though, so do be patient.

But not too patient, as my memory isn't the greatest. wink

Cheers

Hi,

Some additional notes about this thread.

I was able to see the 250 GB drive (244 GB after partition & format) on the EMPEG Vital Signs, Boot log, and partition data with fdisk and cat.

I was able to manually partition & format the drive and using v2b13 in the Empeg and emplode would see the drive as 128 GB (no VBA-48). It showed up on the EMPEG Vital Signs, Partition table, and in emplode on USB.

When I manually partitioned and formatted the drive for 250 GB, it would show 244 GB on the EMPEG Vital Signs, the correct Partition Table (same as the big builder does), and emplode would see the player on USB. Emplode completed the file system check, and when rebuilding the database, the EMPEG rebooted and emplode crashed (asking the familiar "Do you want to send this crash dump to Microsoft for analysis" message). Emplode did however play music "ta-da" like it completed the process at the same time emplode crashed.

Does emplode need to be fixed too?

Ross

Do keep in mind, please, that *anything* you do with a drive larger than 128GB installed in an empeg/Rio car unit is meaningless unless Hijack is installed from start to finish.

Which I'm sure you've made a point of doing, but it does bear repeating here. Anything that writes to the disk (fdisk, emplode, database rebuild..) without a Hijack kernel will corrupt the drive.

Hi,

Yes, I understood that. I just wanted to make sure the drive could be addresses within the limits of the available software.

It can be.

It was just a warm and fuzzy that the drive electronics were not the issue.

Thanks,

Ross

Hi,

Haven't tried jemplode yet. Wanted to get everything else correct with the partitioning (I think it looks good - not a software guy though), formatting, and the file system first.

Thanks,

In a general sense, yes it does. The odds of that happening are about as slim as a slim person who's lost a lot of weight recently.

In this specific case, I can't think of a reason why emplode would crash just because you've got that much space available. If it's reproducible, use JEmplode. If not, it's just one of those things.

Hi,

It's very reproducible. I was able to have it happen 3 times after each new partition, format, & system load.

I guess I need to load jemplode and see what it does.

I'm taking a short break from tweaking my Gray-Hoverman to begin diagnosis of the super large drive issue that Ross has reported here.

There's a 320GB desktop drive hooked up to beater here now, running the bigdisk builder. I'll follow it all the way through loading music and see if any problems can be identified for fixing.

Yep. The /dev/hda4 partition never got formatted. Something's wrong with the bigdisk_builder here. Still digging..

I believe scrawl is just a program to dump progress messages to the front panel display, so we can nuke it, or write an Open Source replacement for it that actually works.

Here's my replacement for /empeg/bin/scrawl:

#!/bin/sh
echo "POPUP 9999 $*" > /proc/empeg_notify

Requires a Hijack kernel, of course, but we already have that in the new builders.

Yeah, it is. As you point out, with Hijack, you can just use /proc/empeg_notify.

Gag.. this is taking forever, but that's okay -- I been going between the workshop (antenna stuff) and this for much of the afternoon now.

The 320GB drive I'm using here also requires more swap space for the mkfs to work, so the script now uses *both* hda3 and hda6 for swap. And I've updated it to zero hda3 afterwards, so that the dynamic data partition starts off clean instead of semi-random.

And other updates. Now running the (hopefully) final test from scratch.

Okay, I've updated the bigdisk builder on my web server. Could somebody please copy the new version over to riocar.org (I think there's a mirror of this stuff being kept there) ?

The new version has been tested on a 320GB drive here, and worked fine for me. I have not yet installed any tunes onto the drive, but I'll try that as well, just to confirm things.

Cheers

Thanks, Tom!

EDIT: I just noticed a double-negative typo in my index.html file, so if you could pull that one again...

Thanks!

Here's the new init script that I used for builder_bigdisk_v3. This also eliminates the scrawl and make-drives utilities, as they have been rolled into this one instead to save some execution time RAM.

Attached and inline (We really need a <pre> tag!!):
Code:
#!/bin/sh

log() {
        echo "$1"
        echo "POPUP 9999 $1" > /proc/empeg_notify
}

failed() {
        log "$1 failed"
        /bin/swapoff /dev/hda3
        /bin/swapoff /dev/hda6
        sync
        exec /bin/bash --login
}

makedrive() {
        dev="/dev/$1"
        log "Making $1 filesystem"
        /bin/mkfs.ext2 -v -s 1 -i 131072 -m 0 $dev || failed "mkfs $1"
        log "Tuning $1"
        /bin/tune2fs -c -1 -i0 $dev || failed "tune2fs $1"
        /bin/sync
        /bin/sync
        log "Mounting $1"
        /bin/mount -n -o rw,nocheck $dev $2 || failed "mount $1"
        /bin/sync
        /bin/sync
        log "Making directories"
        /bin/mkdir $2/fids || failed "mkdir /fids"
        /bin/mkdir $2/var || failed "mkdir /var"
        echo "[hijack]" > $2/var/config.ini || failed "config.ini"
        log "Remounting ro"
        /bin/mount -n -o remount,ro $dev $2 || failed "remount"
        /bin/sync
        /bin/sync
        log "$1 completed"
}

# echo everything to the serial console:
set -x

/bin/mount -n /proc
log "Builder image"

DRIVE1=""
if [ -e /proc/ide/hdb -a -e /proc/ide/hdc ]; then
        log 'hdb,hdc both exist?'
        exec /bin/bash --login
fi
[ -e /proc/ide/hdb ] && DRIVE1=hdb
[ -e /proc/ide/hdc ] && DRIVE1=hdc

/bin/mount -n -t ext2 -o ro,nocheck /dev/hda4 /drive0
if [ -d /drive0/fids ]; then
        log "Drives already built"
else
        /bin/umount /drive0

        /bin/mkswap  /dev/hda6
        /bin/swapon  /dev/hda6
        /bin/mkswap  /dev/hda3
        /bin/swapon  /dev/hda3

        log "Tuning hda5"
        /bin/tune2fs -c -1 -i0 /dev/hda5 || failed "tune2fs hda5"

        makedrive hda4 /drive0

        if [ "$DRIVE1" != "" ]; then
                log "partitioning second drive"
                init_drive /dev/$DRIVE1 || failed "init $DRIVE1"
                DRIVE1="${DRIVE1}4"
                makedrive $DRIVE1 /drive1 || failed "init $DRIVE1"
        fi

        /bin/swapoff /dev/hda3
        log "Zeroing hda3"
        /bin/cat /dev/zero > /dev/hda3

        /bin/swapoff /dev/hda6
        log 'Done!  Testing disk..'

        /sbin/hdstress
fi

exec /bin/bash --login
