However, no matter what I've tried I haven't been able to resolve this problem. If I try to mount, fsck or disklabel the disk the process will simply halt with no output and will do nothing. ^C also fails to operate, as well as kill -9 (meaning the drive gets locked and I have to reboot to try again). I know for certain each disk is operating perfectly fine. I stuck my root disk in another machine, attempting to add a second drive to come across the same problem... so it must be FreeBSD. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated. Regards, Peter Hoskin
