Just another thing, can you change or monitor the behaviour of this spare space reservation? Looking into man mpt gave nothing useful regarding this issue. Adding hw.mpt.enable_sata_wc to the loader conf made everything much faster, before that the computer used the disks all the time. Thank you for your help Richard, Best Regards, B.
