Lots of status 0x58's. - That's not a fatal error. - You didn't write down the whole message. (the whole message would have told you what function generated the error message, and which drive caused the problem) - I think there still may be a bug in the devstat implementation in the wd driver that causes the busy count to go negative sometimes. Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@plutotech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
