Hi,
On the weekend, I moved my 8-STABLE installation (csup'd late Dec 2009)
onto a new drive, a Seagate ST31000528AS CC3; and while the transfer was
successful, I've noticed that the drive light is solidly on all the time,
even if it boots into single-user.
# uname -a
FreeBSD osiris.chen.org.nz 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #1: Sat Jan 16 08:32:54 NZDT 2010 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/OSIRIS amd64
Is this something I should be worried about? There doesn't appear to
be any disk I/O (I can't hear the disk grinding), but I may be wrong.
The drive from which I transferred from did not exhibit this strange
behaviour.
Any advice would be welcome.
Cheers.
