Hi Tony, I saw a PR go on a while back for a similar problem, it was some problem about using one variable for all disks instead of one each, I can't remember the details. Anyway, I'm not sure if it was even committed, but it might be worth searching freebsd.org to see if you can find it, sorry I can't be more help. Niall -- Niall Smart.
