Hello.

kernel gentoo-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 is running.

My iBook (FireWire (IEEE 1394): Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth/Pangea FireWire) is connected to a M9 Minipod firewire case (Oxford 911).
But after some working it becomes unstable.
Sometimes it continues just reconnecting, sometimes it crashes completely, so I have to reload the module and turn off/on the drive also to get it working again. I have one large luksCrypted aes 256bit Partition on it and mount /dev/mapper_dev_sda (should that be the cause?)

Code:

The sbp2 mailinglist told me to buy a better cable. It wasn't only about the cable.
As far as I noticed, it's more stable to mount ext3 with data=writeback. Concerning my 600Mhz-G3 and the 256 bit aes-encryption, data=witeback makes more throughput because of less cpu load, maybe it's different with bigger cpus.

My firewire harddrive was mounted as data=journal before, which also apearently caused these dropouts.

  • short cable (0.3) data=journal: dropouts
  • short cable (0.3) data=writeback: no dopouts anymore
  • long cable (2 m) data=... anyway dropouts

The dropouts sound as if the hard drive has a short power disconnect,, spins down a bit and restarts again.

Did I have to grow that old to see my Firewire drive working?

Works fine today with New FireWire stack (still experimental on 2.6.27), instead of "stable" :? branch.

As of today (2.6.38), what is still unstable is working with the DVD writer connected to the hub inside the firewire case (Oxford 911).
Is is recognized fine after fresh boot, but disconnects after a while. Sometimes it works writing one DVD, sometimes it crashes while writing.
Hot-plugging does not work at all. Sometimes I get the writer detected when unloading the firewire modules and reload them again. But this of course also required to disconnect the firewire harddrive.
Unloading the firewire modules also sometimes blocks and does not return. Even kill -9 rmmod does not make it return...

I think about firmwware-upgrading the Oxford bridge. Is there any linux tool to do this?
