It could be some > artifact from this... I tried with the ad dev entries for my problem as well with no improvement. I've also tried using: dd if=/dev/ad0s6 of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1 as the first access to one of the failing drives (ad0). The first dd fails with device not configured, but any subsequent access works fine. It seems it's left in an odd state by the driver start up, but all it takes is a read to get it sorted out again.
