Yup, the /dev/ad4 drive looks perfect. I can see it was just recently put into use. :-) Issue is with the system, the controller, (a remote possibility given the situation) the PSU, or the driver for the controller. Sorry I can't be of more help past this point, but we've at least mostly ruled out the possibility of the disk itself being problematic. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
