I use CF card connected to IDE slot as system disk for working NAS4Free server.
# dmesg | grep ada0
ada0 at ata0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0
ada0: <SILICON POWER 20110927> ATA-7 device
ada0: 100.000MB/s transfers (UDMA5, PIO 512bytes)
ada0: 3831MB (7847280 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 7785C)
My system
NAS4Free 9.1.0.1 (revision 804) x86-embedded
KM400 AWRDACPI AMD Sempron(tm) 2200+ 992MiB RAM

But, transfer speed on tab
Disks|Management|Disk|Edit not limit transfer speed.

I need limit my transfer speed, because this is compact flash
Write test

If I read this correctly, I do not know how to limit your CF card transfer speed.

Use a 40 pin old flat IDE cable to limit transfer speed.
Use short cable that You have.

I not use cable, I use direct connected adapter such as
Power supply repaired by July, motherboard capasitors replaced by March.. I replace full version to embedded, because full version was freeze.
Currently: sometimes I have message such in
this post, from new CF card.
Sometimes = one week without messages, yesterday I receive more then 100 times, today without mesages
Code: Select all
(ada0:ata0:0:0:0): READ_DMA. ACB: c8 00 5f ba 01 40 00 00 00 00 20 00
(ada0:ata0:0:0:0): CAM status: Command timeout
(ada0:ata0:0:0:0): Retrying command
Such messages I received from old 2.5 inch disks.

Camcontrol for CF
Code: Select all
# camcontrol identify ada0

pass0: 100.000MB/s transfers (UDMA5, PIO 512bytes)

CFA supported
LBA supported 7847280 sectors

data set management (TRIM) no
I think such behavior because CF card not have ram buffer, as hard disk, it need reduce speed.

I find solution. If I add to loader.conf (loader.conf.local)
string
I swich CF to PIO4 mode.
If I define
swich it to UDMA 5 mode
Result
$ dmesg | grep ada0
ada0 at ata0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0
ada0: <SILICON POWER 20110927> ATA-7 device
ada0: 16.700MB/s transfers (PIO4, PIO 512bytes)
ada0: 3831MB (7847280 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 7785C)
ada0: Previously was known as ad0
GEOM: ada0s1: media size does not match label.
Hmmm, transfer mode over webgui realy not work

How about moving to a spare usb stick (of course this is not internal then) ?

Not good idea for my HP D530. It have usb1 during boot stage, ~15 minutes for boot.

try 40pin IDE Flash Module -->
http://uk.transcend-info.com/industry/p ... &Func1No=1
few Years ago i used CF to IDE Adapter, too & ran into some problems from time to time
no more problems after switching to IDE 40pin Flash Module

Thought about this one also, but decided then for a Pico-USB stick. Might be an good idea.
How about a USB 2.0 extention card (check Hardware compatibility of the chipset!) ?

I wan't pay any cent!!!
I add to /cf/boot/device.hints value (for my config) :
And have result ( on FreeBSD )
ada0 at ata1 bus 0 scbus1 target 0 lun 0
ada0: <Hitachi HDS721680PLAT80 P21OA85A> ATA-7 device
ada0: 16.700MB/s transfers (PIO4, PIO 8192bytes)
I go to check NAS4Free - It work
Before
$ dmesg | grep ada0
ada0 at ata1 bus 0 scbus1 target 0 lun 0
ada0: <Hitachi HDS721680PLAT80 P21OA85A> ATA-7 device
ada0: 133.000MB/s transfers (UDMA6, PIO 8192bytes)
ada0: 78533MB (160836480 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 16383C)
ada0: Previously was known as ad2
After
$ dmesg | grep ada0
ada0 at ata1 bus 0 scbus1 target 0 lun 0
ada0: <Hitachi HDS721680PLAT80 P21OA85A> ATA-7 device
ada0: 16.700MB/s transfers (PIO4, PIO 8192bytes)
ada0: 78533MB (160836480 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 16383C)
ada0: Previously was known as ad2
How to check CF ( or old 2.5 inch disk) , connected to IDE:
Check supported modes, for my tested disk :
PIO supported PIO4
DMA supported WDMA2 UDMA6
And find adress for ata device
Look result
adaN at
ataX bus 0 scbus1
target Y lun 0
And compose device hint
hint.ata.X.devY.mode="<supported mode>"
Supported mode is mode, when CF or ide disk not make faults
