Hi,
  Well our nice new 4GB disc is humming along on our FreeBSD box.  When I first
mounted it I got:

Feb 20 20:07:09 uriah /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): Unexpected busfree.  LASTPHASE == 0
xa0
Feb 20 20:07:19 uriah /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): timed out in message out phase, SCS
ISIGI == 0x0
Feb 20 20:07:19 uriah /kernel: SEQADDR == 0x0
Feb 20 20:07:19 uriah /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): abort message in message buffer

it sat there for a few seconds and its been fine ever since.  I get the feeling
its running a bit slowly 3.5MB a second ish writing - which I reckon
is slow for a Barracuda (15150N).

Why did that happen?

On a separate note we gave up using the fdisk and disklabel commands and
used the nice programs on the installation disc.  We kept getting

write: read only file system

and never figured out how to get rid of it.
The fdisk and disklabel programs are individually arcane; when used together
they are just stupid. Is the partitioning utility from the installation
disc available for use on a running system?

Dave
