# atacontrol mode 3
Master = PIO4 
Slave  = ???

# atacontrol mode 3 udma33 xxx
Master = UDMA33 
Slave  = ???

# atacontrol mode 3
Master = UDMA33 
Slave  = ???

# find / -name nonexistent -print

# atacontrol mode 3
Master = PIO4 
Slave  = ???


After little disk activity, like searching a file throughout the entire
filesystem, the second disk of the RAID array falls back to PIO4 mode.

I booted the system from the live system cd (2nd disk of the freebsd
