When I origionally loaded this machine, I had many problems until I figured out I could only use every other SATA port with any degree of reliability. It turned out that with the first two drives I bought, this every-other rule was true. These drives are: ad4: 238475MB <SAMSUNG SP2504C VT100-33> at ata2-master SATA300 But When I bought new drives, they happily used every channel: ad10: 715404MB <WDC WD7500AAKS-00RBA0 30.04G30> at ata5-master SATA300 The difference, I'm lead to believe, is that the Samsung drive is a PATA drive with a SATA to PATA bridge on it. The newer "true SATA" drives work fine. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
