I've had that happen a number of times. Drives: WD600BB-00CFC0 Controller: HighPoint HPT370 ATA100 controller Configuration: Mirrored Happened twice within a weeks time. Stopped for about 4 months, and now it's happened twice within the past 4 days. I noticed it's been a little warmer lately, in the room, but the temperature inside the case hasn't been that extreme. I get a timeout error, a message about resetting the buss (or similar), the drive light stays on and that's it until I power-cycle the system. I've got 8 systems like this in use, and the only one to act up is the one with the WD's in them (The other 7 use Seagate's). Unless they're very temperature sensitive (or a controller is) I'm not sure exactly what would be causing this. When I ran the diagnostics a few months back they came up clean. -Michael Wolfe On Wed, 7 May 2003, Bruce Campbell wrote: > > I have about 20 FreeBSD systems with Western Digital ATA disks, > some 3ware RAID, and some not, different motherboards, etc. > All use a low cost removeable ATA drive tray. > > About 1 month ago I got in 4 Western Digital WD1200JB disks, and > put 3 into service.
