Others have also pointed out the IDE driver as the probable suspect. But I'd like to point out that your problems with <20GB partitions most likely has some other cause. I've got a 25GB IBM UltraATA66 drive with a single 25GB partition running with no errors. The system had an uptime of over 15 days with no error before I had to shut it down and move it. --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
