See <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-July/074383.html>; (and probably a number of other posts). This has been an issue for me with -CURRENT (and so now RELENG_7) early this year. This box is still running RELENG_6 (and I'm writing this mail on it), and will take a pounding on the drives all day long without the slightest tic. But put -CURRENT/RELENG_7 on it, and it's lucky to live long enough to get into multi-user mode, can be killed instantly with a find, and will eventually keel over even with nothing particular happening (where 'eventually' is measured in a single-digit number of minutes). Rather annoying, as I have several machines with Promise controllers I'd like to move to 7.x. But sadly, they need to access their hard drives occasionally, so... -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
