I have Windows NT Workstation 4.0 on the first drive (wd0) and FreeBSD on the second (wd1). Occasionally, when I attempt use ls, finger, uptime and other commands I get the following in the message log. I also get, in white text, a message similar to the below (I wasn't in X and didn't know a way to save it). The system locks up for about 30 seconds when this happens (ie. alt-F2 won't switch terminals, nor will any commands work). Is this a problem with my drive or some kind of misconfiguration? If a misconfiguration, what can I do about it? >From /var/log/messages: Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: status 58 error 0 Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: wdunwedge failed: Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: status d0 error 1 Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1s1f: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command$ Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: wdunwedge failed: Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: status d0 error 1 Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1s1f: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command writing fsbn 3604752 of 3604752-3604767 (wd1s1 bn 3883264; cn 3852 tn 7 sn 7)wd1: status d0 error 1 Aug 17 15:58:36 theta /kernel: wd1: wdunwedge failed: Aug 17 15:58:36 theta /kernel: wd1: status d0 error 1 Aug 17 15:58:36 theta /kernel: wd1s1f: wdstart: timeout waiting to give command writing fsbn 3604752 of 3604752-3604767 (wd1s1 bn 3883264; cn 3852 tn 7 sn 7)wd1: status d0 error 1
