@derfs

diskspeed & scsispeed

I would be interested in seeing some comparisons of read/write speeds using swraid.device (mirror/stripe) compared to normal disk i/o.

Anyone who does this should have at least two spare harddrives as well as working/enabled UDMA on both as otherwise there isn't much point speedwise in using RAID in the first place.

@Antique

In order to do that I would need:

1. A PCI riser
2. A h/w RAID controller (incl. documentation on how to program)
3. Two spare harddrives
4. A big enough case to fit all this stuff

None of which I have at the moment.

Out of these 3 & 4 would also be useful for development of the s/w RAID driver.

Re: Automatic Aminet uploads

@SEP

Some aminet admins took it upon themselves to upload files to Aminet from OS4Depot that hadn't been checked as "upload to Aminet" by the original uploader. AFAIK the people who uploaded the files to OS4Depot then complained about this to OS4Depot thinking that they were responsible.

Quote:

Aminet cross uploading has been removed. The aminet admins uploads everything on os4depot to aminet anyway so there's no point for os4depot to maintain and administrate that functionality any more.

@TMTisFree

FWIW I uploaded a v52.1 alpha version of swraid.device to OS4Depot. If you or anyone else does try it out then please do report back to me how it works (either here or by e-mail).

It may contain bugs so I wouldn't recommend to use it for storing any important data right now. I have fixed a memory leak in libOpen() for v52.2 (some device structures aren't freed if there is a failure to open the unit).

Re: What is a .hdf file?

@Snuffy

DH0: is the device name to mount the hardfile under in E-UAE.

hardfile2=<rw/ro>,<device name:><hdf file>,<tracks per block>,<surfaces>,<reserved>,<blocksize>,<boot pri>

This is the command I use to mount the gcc hardfile (e-uae wip4 on os4):
hardfile2=rw,HD6:Games:Emulators/E-UAE/disks/gcc.hdf,32,1,2,512,0

The hardfile is in:
Games:Emulators/E-UAE/disks/gcc.hdf

Tried the AmigaSYS3 hardfile:
hardfile2=rw,HD6:Games:Emulators/E-UAE/disks/AmigaSYS3PlusEUAE.hdf,32,1,2,512,0
Works OK here.

@Snuffy

No, that is just wrong. There is no difference between hardfiles on WinUAE and E-UAE. diskimage.device doesn't have any special code for handling "WinUAE" hardfiles.

In fact I had a look through the E-UAE configuration text file and I found what you were doing wrong.

Instead of:
hardfile2=rw,DH7:AmigaSYS/AmigaSys/AmigaSYS3PlusAGA.hdf,32,1,2,512,1
you should be using:
hardfile2=rw,DH0:DH7:AmigaSYS/AmigaSys/AmigaSYS3PlusAGA.hdf,32,1,2,512,1
.

Otherwise E-UAE will look for a file:
AmigaSYS/AmigaSys/AmigaSYS3PlusAGA.hdf
in your E-UAE directory and likely won't find it.

HexREAD-- shows the herader as DOS. I assume it's MS-Dos.


No, that would mean that it's a single-partition hardfile and that it uses FastFileSystem.

There are some invalid sized hardfiles around though (at least one I know of). You could try FixHDF from the diskimage.device archive, but make a backup first. Also try mounting the hdf using the device just to see if it work that way.

This line looks OK to me assuming that the file:
DH7:AmigaSYS/AmigaSys/AmigaSYS3PlusAGA.hdf

exists and isn't a RDB hardfile. If it's a RDB hardfile then you have to set all the geometry settings to 0 IIRC.

If the hardfile contains a RDB then the first four bytes of the file will contain the characters 'RDSK'. This can easily be checked for using a hex editor or f.e. the EasyHex program on Aminet.

This is the uaerc config. from SYS3/A1200-AGA. What does backslash saying?? Is this a linux EUAE mount command?


Neither Linux nor AmigaOS uses backslash as directory separator. Only MS-DOS/Windows does this. In the above you should really be using forward slashes ('/').

So in OS4, do I have to physically mount a .hdf file using 'Disk.image' before even calling EUAE ?


No. Even though you could do this and then mount in E-UAE as virtual filesystem, I wouldn't recommend it.

An new MountDiskImage which allows "inserting" and "removing" files to diskimage.device units without requiring a dos device/mountlist would be enough to make it easier.


I've added a KEEPOPEN/S option in MountDiskImage 52.23 for this purpose, which I have just uploaded to OS4Depot.

Thanks for the suggestion about using Mounter, however it doesn't seem to be working with diskimage.device ("Invalid Command"). I guess I'll have to look into what the command is that it's trying to use.

Seems the command is HD_SCSICMD (28). Do I need to implement this or can I get around it somehow?

Re: What is a .hdf file?

@Snuffy

It should be noted that there are actually two types of .hdf:

1. Single-partition hdf, which can be thought of as just a very large adf file.

2. hdf with RDB partitiontable.

The first kind is more common and can be mounted with the current diskimage.device.

The second kind should be possible to mount with the next diskimage.device release, though probably not as easily.

@Swoop

That's probably because you only closed the GUI part, not the program itself.

To quit SGrab you need to bring up the GUI (using the CX_POPKEY defined on the icon or Commodities/Exchange) and then use "Quit" from the menu or use the "Remove" function in Exchange.

If you do this, there is no error on startup.

I think DiskImageGUI could use an icon of it's own too. I would appreciate it if you could make one.

No hurry though as I'm still waiting for a replacement PSU from Antec.
