Hello. A few months ago (May) to be exact, Søren posted a patch ( http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2003-May/003275.html ) to the FreeBSD-current mailing list relating to IDE drives over a certian size having issues with falling back to PIO mode and other things. This patch was commited, and is currently in 5.1-RELEASE, and my friend told me to try applying to the patch to fix the problem (although the patch was already commited). There does NOT appear to be anything wrong with the drives, as I have run tests on them and stuck them in another FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE box, and the problem seems to disappear. The error I'm getting is..: Jul 26 18:17:58 devil kernel: ad3: UDMA ICRC error cmd=write fsbn 198898911 of 198898911-198899166 retrying Jul 26 18:17:58 devil kernel: ad3: UDMA ICRC error cmd=write fsbn 198902239 of 198902239-198902494 retrying Jul 26 18:17:58 devil kernel: ad3: UDMA ICRC error cmd=write fsbn 198902239 of 198902239-198902494 retrying Jul 29 12:43:28 devil kernel: ad2: UDMA ICRC error cmd=write fsbn 203789023 of 203789023-203789038 retrying Jul 29 12:43:28 devil kernel: ad2: UDMA ICRC error cmd=write fsbn 203789023 of 203789023-203789038 falling back to PIO mode and ad3: UDMA ICRC error cmd=write fsbn 198898911 of 198898911-198899166 retrying ad3: UDMA ICRC error cmd=write fsbn 198902239 of 198902239-198902494 retrying ad3: UDMA ICRC error cmd=write fsbn 198902239 of 198902239-198902494 retrying ad2: UDMA ICRC error cmd=write fsbn 203789023 of 203789023-203789038 retrying ad2: UDMA ICRC error cmd=write fsbn 203789023 of 203789023-203789038 retrying ad2: UDMA ICRC error cmd=write fsbn 203789023 of 203789023-203789038 retrying ad2: UDMA ICRC error cmd=write fsbn 203789023 of 203789023-203789038 falling back to PIO mode The drives are 120GB Maxtor 7200RPM with 2MB cache, I have 3 of them; and I have experienced the same error with FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE, and 4.8-RELEASE (4.8, which always made the drives go back to PIO mode no matter what).

Just very slow access to the drives because they have switched back to PIO; and I have to force them back with atacontrol to regain the speed. Any suggestions, comments, tips? Should I be trying to replace the drive? How can I do that if MaxDiag doesn't give me an error code so I can get the drives RMAed? Cheers, --Peter
