So do I. See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/29045 Nobody responded to my last post on this pr, and I have no idea where to go from here without direction. This level of technical debugging is quite beyond me at this time. But the problem still exists, it happened again earlier this week (even with the drives throttled to ata33). What kind of HDD are you using? Personally, I suspect HW problems, and I seem to recall a few months ago, someone else with IBM HDDs complaining about the same thing. Have there been any patches to the ata code that could affect this? If so, I'll update this machine and see if it continues to be a problem. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
