Of of my drives is flakey (I haven't isolated which yet) and will spin down and then spin up. Even though the drive is not mounted under FreeBSD, the system dies (mouse still moves as I'm using in X windows) but trying to execute a command fails. I can't see any errors recorded in the logs. Can anyone suggest anythiing I can add to the kernels or adjust in my settings to present the lockup? I have the option to allow disconnect turned on in my scsi bios.
