Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Has anyone seen this before? I had this happen in an earlier version of this system ; disks go grind, grind, grind. then stop. Iostat shows 0 tps for two or three seconds, then everything comes back to life. This happened when I added a fourth disk to an adaptec 2940UW controller. this is version 2.2.5, fyi. It almost seems like there's so much I/O on the bus that all of the disks freak out or something.
