As others have suggested, do not trust this drive. You may command atacontrol mode ad6 pio or put hw.ata.ata_dma=3D0 in loader.conf. The errors will disappear. Use this if you can't backup because the read= s = fail. Worked for me. YMMV. > I've installed the port, and started the daemon. We'll see what tomorr= ow = > brings. Even if smart does not find anything -- use the drive for junk purposes = at = max.
