I have no idea why it's doing it, but I re-boot so infrequently that I just have not worried about it. It does seem that it is less likely to happen after a true cold boot. (Cut main power.) I was seeing this with V4 and I'm seeing it with V5. I don't think I ever saw it back on V3, but that was a LONG time ago. It may have started when some change was made to the ATA driver, but I really can't say since it's been doing it for so long. -- R.
