My own observations are this appears to be limited to machines with ciss controllers. The length of the delay seems proportional to the number of geom modules loaded. Geom_label seems to have a significant effect without it you will probably have a shorter, but still considerable delay. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Evgueni V.

Are there any developers/hackers who interested in solving of the trouble?
