Bad termination? > Bad cable? The cable and disk are brand new... This sound more like a firmware problem on the drive. It means that the drive comes back to say "I've completed you requested comand" and the OS says "I don't know of a request" Mostly it is because the firmware is buggy in handling TQC and processes comands twice. Can you send the complete dmesg part of the drive and controller? -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
