As with all new HD's I ran some tests on it. Bonnie for example. The problem I keep getting is the following, and it only happens when I try reading from the disk. ad5: READ command timeout - resetting ata2: resetting devices.. The machine locks up and I have to run FSCK on the disk. The disk works fine in Windows 2000 on the same machine. Does anyone know of any issues is FreeBSD or configuration options I should have enabled/disabled? I'm using FreeBSD 4.2 - STABLE with the basic kernel added, with the exception of some options but those only deal with firewall/network options. Thanks!
