Is there a specific problem with certain drives (meaning certain interface logic or drive mechanisms), or is this another one of those, "This is why you shouldn't use El Cheapo hardware with a real OS," deals? I was having the same READ_BIG timeout errors with a generic 50x drive. Replacing the drive with a decent drive (Toshiba XM-6402B) fixed the problem. I can put the 50x drive back in if you want another tester for the patch, btw. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
