I have also seen this and there has been a previous brief thread. My own observations are this appears to be limited to machines with ciss controllers. The length of the delay seems proportional to the number of geom modules loaded. Geom_label seems to have a significant effect without it you will probably have a shorter, but still considerable delay. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Evgueni V.

Are there any developers/hackers who interested in solving of the trouble? Also I would be glad to receive advises since I ain't kernel hacker :) _______________________________________________ freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-proliant To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-proliant-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" This email was sent to you by Reuters, the global news and information comp= any.=20 To find out more about Reuters visit www.about.reuters.com Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, exc= ept where the sender specifically states them to be the views of Reuters Lt= d.
