|
| sysctl.txt

|
| dmesg_reverted_oxfordsemi_debug3.txt

| dmesg_reverted_wdmybook_debug3.txt

| This dmesg just covers the attachment and detachment of the disk.

| What I did next was trying to find out what versions of the files in

| versions that work in 7.1-Stable (as of Feb 9). And updated them until

|
| Here is what I tried so far:
|
| File            7.1     8.0     200812          Feb 1
|                 02/09   02/24   snap.           commit

|                                 0000    0001    0002
| ------------------------------------------------------
| firewire.c      1.100   1.108   1.104   1.104   1.105

| fwdev.c         1.52    1.53    1.53    1.53    1.53
| fwohci.c        1.93    1.98    1.95    1.95    1.96

| working:        yes     no      yes     yes     no
|
| So, on my machine (still 8.0-CURRENT as of around Feb 24) the versions
| of the files mentioned that are used in 7.1-STABLE work. The ones used
| in the 200812-CURRENT snapshot also seem to work. Note that I guessed
| the the versions in this case (basically I used the versions that, at
| most, include changes from November 2008), since I only use that
| snapshot as it is on a bootable USB-stick (0000 in the table above).
| Next, I tried to update all mentioned files either to their current
| version or the version just before the Feb 1 commit (0001 in the table
| above). I used the current version whenever the file was not affected by
| the Feb 1 commit. This also seems to work. After updating the rest of
| the files to the version that contains the Feb 1 commit things stopped
| working (0002). Note that I did not touch the if_* sources, as these are
| network interfaces.
|
| At
|
http://www-public.tu-bs.de:8080/~y0023183/FreeBSD/Firewire/Tests_20090304/
| you can find the following:
|
| results.txt
| the table above in a plain text file.
|
| Sources/versions
| the versions of the files in src/sys/dev/firewire I used. I removed the
| leading '1.' from the version and put the remainder in front of the file.
|
| Sources/working_0000
| Sources/working_0001
| the files in src/sys/dev/firewire used in the corresponding table
| columns.
|
| Sources/broken_0002
| the files that broke firewire disk support in the versions mentioned in
| the table.
|
|
| I hope that somehow helps to narrow down the problem. If there is
| anything else that I could or should try just let me know.

Hi Sean,

I updated my CURRENT today and also applied the patch to firewire.c you
included in your reply to the "Configuration ROM in firewire stack"
thread here on firewire@, since Hidetoshi Shimokawa also mentioned that
the the issue he was addressing also affects SCSI.
This patch seems to also fix the issues with my external firewire disk.
I did not do much testing yet, but the disk shows up in /dev and dmesg
reports:

fwohci0: fwohci_intr_core: BUS reset
fwohci0: fwohci_intr_core: node_id=0x00000000, SelfID Count=2, non
CYCLEMASTER mode
firewire0: 2 nodes, maxhop <= 1 cable IRM irm(0)  (me)
firewire0: root node is not cycle master capable
firewire0: bus manager 0
fwohci0: too many cycle lost, no cycle master presents?

At
http://www-public.tu-bs.de:8080/~y0023183/FreeBSD/Firewire/usr_src_sys_dev_firewire_versions_20090313.txt

you can find the exact versions of the files in
/usr/src/sys/dev/firewire that I am using. Note that firewire.c has been
patched with your firewire.c.diff patch I from the "Configuration ROM in
firewire stack" thread.

So, thanks for the patches to you both.


Best regards,

Daniel
