This looks like either "Hyper-V" stopped representing the disk device as an AHCI device (ada driver: "ATA Direct Access device driver"), and the OS now recognizes it as a SCSI device (da driver: "SCSI Direct Access device driver"), or the OS doesn't contain or load the ada driver for some reason, which would be strange, given that the driver is part of the GENERIC kernel for some time now. SATA drives are commonly recognized by the AHCI driver, PATA drives by the default ATA driver (ad driver: "generic ATA/ATAPI disk controller driver", considered obsolete now), and all other SCSI peripherials use the SCSI drivers. This should be the same between 10.1 and 10.2. What do "camcontrol devlist" and "atacontrol list" day about the recognized disks? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
