But that would very probably leave copious messages in the logfiles, too. I have a WD1000JB myself, and I think they're great drives. I posted a longer soliquy on hard drive manufacturers recently. Anyway, it's more likely that you've got heating problems or maybe a flaky power supply. Check into those, and/or run something like memtest or cpuburn (from the ports). -Chuck To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
