I'm running on an ICH6 controller (no RAID) with a Seagate disk and don't have any problems, except frequent ATA timeouts at boot (only at boot, before mounting the root fs) but that appeared only after I updated to 5.4-STABLE on June 21 (never seen it before with 5.4-RELEASE or 5.4-STABLE before that date). Once it sucessfully managed to mount its root fs (typically about every 2nd boot attempt), I see no further problems. >I'm looking at upgrading my only SATA server to 5.x, since the 4.x that is >currently running on it is getting hangs whenever load is put onto the >drives :( If you have a server with IDE or SATA, you might also be interested in the write barrier thread that's going on on -questions. mkb. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
