Hi, am I correct in thinking you two have both experienced random unexplainable freebsd crashes, and you think its to do with the Maxtor type hard drives?
Recently I have been getting signal 12 kernel panics, the other day I had a different message of something about the filesystem doing a boo-boo. And even now when running a make world it may not reboot, but receive a signal 11 with some corruption that would suggest it received some kind of rubbish data. These panics happen once a day roughly, but can be easily recreated by running a make world as you have mentioned. I have had everything replaced in the machine but the hard drive, which is Maxtor, however I had the hard drive replaced today, and it was another Maxtor hard drive. A clean install of freebsd 4.6.2 was installed on the new Maxtor hard drive, and since having it booted up I have not been able to complete a build world to get the latest freebsd. I have gone back to my host to request a non-maxtor drive be put into the machine, do you guys truly believe it to be a problem with Maxtor drives?
