Calling All Disk Gurus,

	I have ASUS P3V4x board based machine with an Intel Ether Express
board. I find that when /dev/wd0s1d gets full it will corrupt itself. When
installing FreeBSD 3.3 it complained about the disk geometry, but managed
to get it to install.

The FS config is:
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0s1a    198399    19985   162543    11%    /
/dev/wd0s1f   1016303    25580   909419     3%    /home
/dev/wd0s1d  13606585    27819 12490240     0%    /other
/dev/wd0s1g   1016303    75640   859359     8%    /tmp
/dev/wd0s1e    644919   486280   107046    82%    /usr
/dev/wd0s1h  14887224  1443484 12252763    11%    /var
procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc

Drive : IBM UltraDMA
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <IBM-DPTA-373420>
wd0: 32634MB (66835440 sectors), 66305 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S

I've tried not using an UDMA66 cable and still the same. I've tried
changing to Seaget drives of same size, and get the same errors and also
same corruption.

---

I also get one of these errors every 3-4 days:

Jun 26 23:41:41 www /kernel: wd0: interrupt timeout (status
58<rdy,seekdone,drq> error 0)
Jun 26 23:41:41 www /kernel: wd0: wdtimeout() DMA status 4

I've tried different drives, different boards, etc... still the same
problem. I've reinstalled several times and stil no luck.

----

Is this an issue with FreeBSD 3.3 not being able to handle these bigger
drives?

Regards,
Maren.
