Hello,
I've posted the problem below to freebsd-mobile with zero (visible)

where to look into for further debugging; it should to stay that a
simple stupid Nokia works in a Wifi zone, while FreeBSD does not :-)
Thx for your ti

I played more with this, and got here so far:
if (atadev->param.support.command1 & ATA_SUPPORT_STANDBY) {
device_printf(dev, "Trying to spindown before poweroff.\n");
atadev->spindown = 1;
ad_spindown((void *)dev);
} else {
device_printf(dev, "Cannot spindown b

Can I do a gmirror clean without first doing a gmirror load? That's what I want
to avoid since it can hang if the mirror is is a bad state.

In our case the systems we are using aren't mirroring the whole drive, just
certain slices. Some systems have a single slice mirrored (plus an unmirrored
slice), and

So, as a generic solution then I could just iterate through all slices of all
drives and
Hello,
I try to MALLOC a buffer in kern, then remap it with vm_map_find(), to space
of user process.
Some times the remapped buffer in user space contain incorrect data.
What could be a reason of this problem and how to solve it ?
Thanx,
Alexej
P.S. Whole code of remapping function: http://past

Okay, thanks everyone for their feedback. I think I have a workable solution
now.

Why is spinning down is bad for HDD ? I believe it's better to spindown a
drive,
instead of cutting power too sudden.

Comparing those two, I'd say it shouldn't matter (although probably a
forced spindown may be better). But
