When I got the drive recently I did a verify and a format. Both reported no problems. All was well until a few days ago when the controller started to time out/recover. Most of the time the system recovers, but it has crashed the machine twice. Re-verified the surface and re-formated. No errors. Is there are setting to increase the timeout wait time for the SCSI drive? Could it be the the drive is not fast enough to keep up with FreeBSD? What setting would be most helpful on trying to reduce this timeout issue Async or Sync 5Mb?
