Is my hard drive about to fail? I've had the same hardware for several months without a problem. While running insert sql statements, I received the following messages: ad1: write command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices..ad0: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device done ad1: timeout waiting for DRQ - resetting ata0: resetting devices..ad0: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device done I was unable to do anything after that. When the system rebooted, it could not find FreeBSD. I could only reboot to FreeBSD after rewriting the mount points using disklabel from the FreeBSD 5.0 CD#1. This happened twice yesterday. I'm running FreeBSD 4.8-Stable and PostgreSQL 7.3.2. Win2K is on the first hard drive of IDE0. FreeBSD is on the slave hard drive of IDE0. The hard drive in qeustion is a Western Digital 80GB ATA100 hard drive with an 8MB buffer. All hard drives in the computer are ATA100, which is supported by the motherboard. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Andrew Gould __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
