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
