I think this is not hd problem because it's new disk. Been use under two months. But actually there's no master on ad5. I'm recently moved to freebsd so I'd like to know if there is anything I need to conf (on fstab etc) if I move that drive from slave to master? Like would /dev/ad5s1d then be like ad5s1a or something? > And of course, cable problems are a *very* frequent issue. I think I'll try other cable too when I change it to be master. -- kpn @ IRCnet
