Since I am not running STABLE, I do not have ata-control. Is there a way I can find out which drive is bad short of power cycling and taking a look at it? Do those error messages tell me which drive is down? Surprisingly, the performance has been quite excellent for a "degraded" system. I wonder if it is just a dodgy interconnect to the IDE backplane. (Pretty sure we ran into that issue when we were testing here before deploying it. Yes, it is as a colocation facility so I cannot just out right look at it easily. ) Is there a way to nab the status of it short of power cycling it? Maybe I should cvsup to get ata-control... -Carroll Kong To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
