However, I cannot see the relationship between the 75GXP flaws and this error: Nov 6 03:01:48 lucifer /kernel: twe0: AEN: <twe0: drive error for unknown unit 1> since it only happens while the system is running "periodic daily" at 3:00 AM. This script does not generate any activity on twed0 (the filesystem stored there is mounted nosuid), but imposes a high load on ad0 instead. Obviously I ran "periodic daily" by hand many times, but I could not reproduce the error. Also, don't forget that these errors began just after starting 3dmd. Coincidence? I don't think so. Anyway, I will try to substitute the DTLA disks. Unfortunately, I don't have any proof of an actual disk failure. Many thanks, JMA -- ****** Jose M.
