OS version is FreeBSD 2.2.8-STABLE #0: Thu Apr  1 05:49:04 MST 1999
Usersize is set to 16, no other local hacks.... (ie no DMA)
Motherboard is an Asus TX-97-E (PIIX4)

Disks are as follows:

wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 flags 0x80ff80ff on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <WDC AC313000R>, 32-bit, multi-block-16
wd0: 12416MB (25429824 sectors), 25228 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 flags 0x80ff80ff on isa
wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): <WDC AC313000R>, 32-bit, multi-block-16
wd2: 12416MB (25429824 sectors), 25228 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc1: unit 1 (wd3): <WDC AC420400D>, 32-bit, multi-block-16
wd3: 19470MB (39876480 sectors), 39560 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
npx0 flags 0x1 on motherboard
npx0: INT 16 interface
ccd0-1: Concatenated disk drivers

I'm trying to replace wd2 with wd3.  I started the newfs on wd3 while
running an l3enc and an x11amp playing (both from wd2), and the system
started pausing, (like, not even mouse movement) while each error appears,
and there is no disk activity, no HDD light, for a few seconds, then it
goes for a second, then pauses, etc....  

I managed to kill off the l3enc and x11amp, and newfs started to rip at
full speed...  Systat -vmstat looked normal, good write speed on wd3.

Okay, that's kind of spooky, but maybe too much interrupt load from the
sound card output or something...  Newfs completes, mount new disk...

cp -R -p /audio /audionew

Pause...go..halt...screech......go..error......

Obviously these drives do NOT like to be on the same cable, on this board
at this particular clock speed, with this driver version, etc.  :)

Any ideas?  I had two 10 Gig and the two 13 gig disks in this machine a
couple of weeks ago and saw none of these symptoms.  I think, therefore,
it is probably caused by the new 4xxx series drive, which are a totally
different design than the previous Caviars.  (Is it borrowed from the WD
SCSI models?  It looks a lot like a Quantum Atlas-II, anyway....)

As long as I can stick it on the first channel and copy the data to wd2,
or something, I'll be okay for now... but sometime I may want to add
another one...  so I'd like to fix it before I NEED it.  :)

Later......						<Doug>
