scsi v43.46 beta need testing - Page 6

altcomputing · 23 June 2011, 13:07

I'm sorry, I was wrong! I compiled ROM image with beta5 but loaded different one!

On my machine, beta5 still does not mount some partitions!

Only three are mounted, DH0, MAC and DH1 (three first ones). They fit 4GB border, all other partitions beyond the 4GB border are not seen!

There's still something to fix althrough there's some advance in that Workbench no longer shows other partitions as uninitialized. They are invisible at all!

HDToolBox shows all partitions correctly.

Performance is 2.7MB/s compared to 2.4MB/s with beta1.

What is the filesystem used ?

And could you try with Pfs3ds_000 v18.4 and see...

Newest SFS. I will try PFS later (need to move lots of data to reformat partitions).

Cosmos · 23 June 2011, 15:23

Ok, I'll do the checking, I have a CF here (16 GB)...

Cosmos · 23 June 2011, 17:04

No, all partitions beyond 4 Gb are uninitialized (with Pfs3ds_000 18.4 and beta1 & 5)

altcomputing · 23 June 2011, 17:42

They are not mounted at all for me. Anyway, the same result - no access to them...

Cosmos · 24 June 2011, 15:49

Ok, I found and understand : not simple without any documentations, but possible !!

scsi.device v43.46 (A600 & A1200) beta 6 (14 300 bytes)

- fix uninitialised partition(s) beyond the 4 Gb border
- 1640 bytes saved

altcomputing · 24 June 2011, 20:57

Sorry... still not working with SFS for me... Like with other betas, i get all beyond 4GB uninitialized...

Maybe it's time for me to switch to PFS?

mfilos · 24 June 2011, 23:57

Thanks for your continuous work Cosmos mate!
Will try it tomorrow with an 16GB CF

_mandark_ · 25 June 2011, 01:27

Works fine for me (< 4 GiB CF, PFS)!

Speed Results (with exec 45.20):
fdh0 = 2259 KiB/s, fdh1 = 3276 KiB/s

alexh · 25 June 2011, 07:43

Keep at it. You'll get it working with enough feedback.

Cosmos · 25 June 2011, 09:01

@altcomputing

All is fine here (SFS v1.279 used)

mfilos · 25 June 2011, 19:40

Tested it with an 16GB Transcend 133x CF and it worked GREAT with PFS3 18.4!!!
Awesome stuff!

Cosmos · 26 June 2011, 05:58

scsi.device v43.46 (A600 & A1200) beta 7 (14 264 bytes)

- Read/write function optimised to the end for 030 (unrolled loops)
- 1676 bytes saved

About 25 kb/s faster on my setup !

mfilos · 26 June 2011, 07:11

Damn! I need to remake my Eproms now LOL.
Thanks for the hard work Cosmos mate

altcomputing · 26 June 2011, 19:36

I tested this once again, still getting the same results. What is more, partitions are now shown uninitialized (they were completely not mounted with beta5) like with beta4. When trying to access Speed Test from SysInfo, i get "line-a emulator error". Still to do is to try with another FileSystem than SFS, altrough I'm sure this is a bug in scsi.device, which does not occur with beta1.

Maybe MCP's GuruInfo file will help somehow?

altcomputing · 26 June 2011, 23:46

beta7 also tested with PFS partition over 4G. Cannot format a volume (just like other SFS partitions) - the machine hangs immediately after PFS3 "welcome" dialog. I think that the problem solved in beta6 was one thing, another still being a bug in Doobrey's code.

Cosmos, try to remove Doobrey's code and compile, let's see what happens!

I'm sure it's a bug in Doobrey's code, because his scsi.device (44.20 AFAIR) behaves EXACTLY the same!

pintcat · 27 June 2011, 05:11

Wasn't Doobrey's code already removed in beta5?

altcomputing · 27 June 2011, 09:00

It was moved back in in beta6.

Cosmos · 27 June 2011, 11:26

@altcomputing

Pfs3ds_000 v18.4 (and v18.5 on Aminet) give uninitialised partitions beyond 4 Gb using the scsi v43.45 (BB2) and the v43.46b1

That's why I added Doobrey's code in the beta 2 : to get Pfs3 working !

Sadly, these addon get SFS not working...

Since I don't code in C/C++, to get SFS working, you must ask Piru for fixing something into Pfs3. Pfs3 is not working correctly using the v43.45 with partitions beyond 4 Gb (Write Error -3 on block 0)...

When fixed, I'll remove Doobrey's code, and SFS will works again !

@pintcat

Doobrey's code was partialy removed in the b5, not completly...

EDIT :
v18.3 on Aminet => All partitions working fine
v18.4 => All partitions beyond the 4 Gb border are uninitialised
v18.5 => All partitions beyond the 4 Gb border are uninitialised
