da0 and da1 missing after upgrade

S

I upgraded from 7.2 to 8.1. After the install, my firewire attached drives are seen by the kernel but not registered as hard drives and given a logical device name (e.g. /dev/da0 and /dev/da1) I have the da and firewire options enabled in the kernel conf. Where would one look for the cause of this problem?


Code: 
firewire0: New S400 device ID:0010b9210021bcac
firewire0: New S400 device ID:0010b9210061baaa
 
@sk8harddiefast - Yes i rebuilt world and did a full ports upgrade. In digging deeper, I'm seeing others use camcontrol devlist or camcontrol rescan all to get more information, but my attempt at running this results in

Code: 
# camcontrol rescan all
camcontrol: CAMIOCOMMAND ioctl failed: Invalid argument

# camcontrol devlist -v
scbus-1 on xpt0 bus 0:
<>                                 at scbus-1 target -1 lun -1 (xpt0)


I found this thread http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/html/freebsd-current@freebsd.org/2009-08/msg00935.html

but haven't been able to discern an actual path to debug the problem. These drives worked flawlessly prior to the upgrade.

I appreciate any guidance towards debugging the issue you can provide.
 
While it's true about the ports it's not relevant to this problem.

Strobe, did you also add device scbus and device pass?
Not entirely sure if that last one is really needed but the first one certainly is.

Edit: Just checked, you'll need device sbp which is SCSI over firewire.
 
Thank You! That was it. My ZFS mirror is a happy camper again now that it has drives in the pool! I wasn't aware scsi over Firewire was necessary. So that I learn how to learn, where did you research to find that gem of knowledge?

[cmd=""]grep -i firewire /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES[/cmd]

If you learn what sorts of words might be used, grep(1) with the -R flag (& the -i flag to get around capitalization preferences) in directories like /usr/src/sys/conf/, /usr/src/sys/<arch>/conf/, /usr/share/mk/, & /usr/ports/Mk/ can get you places that apropos(1) can't. Sometimes.
