Hi, On the weekend, I moved my 8-STABLE installation (csup'd late Dec 2009) onto a new drive, a Seagate ST31000528AS CC3; and while the transfer was successful, I've noticed that the drive light is solidly on all the time, even if it boots into single-user. # uname -a FreeBSD osiris.chen.org.nz 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #1: Sat Jan 16 08:32:54 NZDT 2010 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/OSIRIS amd64 Is this something I should be worried about? There doesn't appear to be any disk I/O (I can't hear the disk grinding), but I may be wrong. The drive from which I transferred from did not exhibit this strange behaviour. Any advice would be welcome. Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen <jonc@chen.org.nz> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "The things we know best are the things we haven't been taught." - Marquis de Vauvenargues
