Currently I can only do that in Windows but I would like to configure it under FreeBSD of course. Turning it off makes writing about twice as fast. Does somebody know how reliable a Jaz drive is with and without write verify? Another JAZ question: If I boot (I use the freebsd bootmgr on the MBR) without a Jaz disk inserted, I have the option to switch to disk 2 (I have two internal SCSI disks). If I have inserted a Jaz disk however, I can only boot from partitions on disk 1 (not from disk 2, and not from the Jaz disk either). Why does the bootmgr get so confused? or is it a BIOS problem?
