That was certainly not the cause of the problem. First, the drives aren't "consumer" ones; they're specifically for server usage and 24h availability. Second, the problem affected only one drive out of four identical ones (two machines with two drives each in a gmirror configuration). The other three drives never had any problems whatsoever. As I wrote recently, we replaced that drive and hadn't had any problems since. So it was indeed a hardware problem with that particular drive ... And what ever kind of problem it was, FreeBSD didn't seem to be able to report it properly. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
