I can only encourage everyone having this problem to report to WD's support about this. Today I received an update for the firmware of RE4-drives (which I did not try out yet). IMHO, the more people complain about these issues, the higher is the chance that WD will do something about it. cu Gerrit _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
