The error you see in the log sbp0:0:0 request timeout ... agent reset you only have one of. Depending on the timeing you get a lot more of them - and long delays and trashed data. It may depend on machine speed as well most of the machines we tried this on where 2600 mhz or 2800 mhz with fast disks. I notice that disk your trying is an 80gig. We where trying larger disks. I just put an 80 gig in an ADS enclosure and its getting a lot less errors, but still some. Perhaps there are more problems for 120+ gigabyte disks. I don't think firewire disks are ready for use in backups yet on freebsd... im having no problems using 120gb firewire disks with retrospect remote under win xp though (on the same hardware exactly we tried freebsd on).
