Hi, all,

recently I set up a FreeNAS box:

FreeBSD freenas.intern.punkt.de 7.3-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE-p3 #0: Sun Oct 17 12:57:33 CEST 2010     root@dev.freenas.org:/usr/obj/freenas/usr/src/sys/FREENAS-amd64  amd64

This is a HP/Compaq Microserver (Proliant N36L). After setting up
the system with 4 used 500 GB Seagate drives to find out if FreeNAS
would fit our needs, I replaced the drives with WDC RE4 2 TB
(WD2002FYPS) and put the system in production to store backups.

Yesterday the file system perfomance suddenly came to a crawl
and the system log fills with entries like this:

ad8: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA48 retrying (1 retry left) LBA=3907027968
ad8: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly
ad8: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly
ad8: WARNING - SETFEATURES ENABLE RCACHE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly
ad8: WARNING - SETFEATURES ENABLE WCACHE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly
ad8: WARNING - SET_MULTI taskqueue timeout - completing request directly
...

Only one of the for drives shows these timeouts.

My question: does this necessarily mean I have an isolated problem
with that particular drive, since the other three are running just fine,
or could there still be someting more fundamental going on?
