(Using ad0h instead of ad0s1h) These are systems that have been around a while. I just recently converted the regular filesystems over to vinum (The filesystems were dump/restored). Previous to that, I had never had a problem. Granted, it still may be a hardware problem (which I'll watch out for), but having it happen on two completely different systems the exact same way makes me think something else. These *are* IDE drives and write caching was on, so there could be something there. I have turned write caching (hw.ata.wc) off this weekend. >> I'm building a new system from scratch here though, so I'll see if I >> can simulate some failures (and reboots) to see if I can get a >> similar error. > >Would this be an AMD system?
