Hi,
Pretty new to the forensic scene, but here it goes:
I'm having problems with SCA disks and RAID. When mounting the disk in
an SCA slot on one of my servers, I then attempt to access the device
(located at sdb* - dmesg is recognising it). Because I can't access this
device, I cannot image it.
On running fdisk -l i receive the error message:
No Valid Partition Table Found
This is a fujitsu drive, in a dell Poweredge 1550 (my temporary forensic
system). I am using the SCA bays and not connecting it to a normal SCSI
3 card (although I do have one and have purchased SCA->SCSI convertors,
but have been unsuccessful in getting those to work - single drive off
the cable, no daisy chain issue).
Am I correct in assuming this is due to it being part of the mirror and
freebsd is not finding the partition type sector where it would assume
to find it? (or am I totally wrong).
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this? Or can
someone point out where I am going wrong. Also if anyone has any
suggestions on the SCA->SCSI convertor issue (I've read it is
unsupported, do I need a single connector SCSI cable?). Any references
people have on dealing with RAID situations would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dave.
