Then I used wdidle3 to disable this feature at this particular disk. Finally that helped. But I don't see any changes at the disk geomentry. It's just the same as before (and other four disks as well). May be not all disks are affected by a geometry change. -- WBR, Boris Samorodov (bsam) Research Engineer, http://www.ipt.ru Telephone & Internet SP FreeBSD Committer, http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve
