>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-960501-SNAP i386
>Environment:

	Embedded PCI dual-channel IDE controller (seen as wdc0 and
	wdc1) Neptune chip-set. EISA and PCI buses. Pentium-100.
	NEC Image-P100E machine.  Two Conner CFS1257A disks. Custom
	built kernel.

>Description:

	If I put every disk on it's own IDE channel (motherboard has
	two IDE plugs), mounting the partition on the second drive goes
	fine, but attempt to read a file from there hangs the entire machine,
	although I can do `ls' before reading, and see the correct output.
	Tried async and read-only mounting also. Same effect.

>How-To-Repeat:

	See description.
>Fix:
	
	Put the drives on the same IDE channel (as master and slave).
	But, I thought, I can gain a few percents of performance by
	splitting them.
