As I installed a PCBSD on that disk originally, I have had a running system. It stopped working after some FreeBSD update. As this is an external disk, I do not boot often from it. I use it mainly for backup purpose. I stopped working on this problem for some time but I will have to go back soon after other work is finished. Erich
