last week i was in fear of a complete data loss as my freebsd current system freezed with ata ad0 timeout like this.
kernel: ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting It was still "living" as it reacted on pings. Hardware: ad0: 76345MB <MAXTOR 6L080J4> [155114/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 CPU: AMD Athlon(TM) XP1600+ (1410.21-MHz 686-class CPU) acpi0: <ASUS A7V266 > on motherboard now with hw.ata.wc=0, that means without write cache it works again, but slower. I will try a fresh makeworld now ...
