Then I run: camcontrol defects da0 -f phys -P and the result was "Got 428 defects:" (I left out the list of defects because it is probably not important) It is my understanding that this is completely normal, because the -G shows that there are no new defects and the 428 defects that are there were there when the drive was in the factory. It this correct? Is this a normal number of defects? On a slightly diffrent tangent: I am aware that it is possible to pass commands to scsi devices for certain cool things. I have a command (thanks to Kenneth Merry a while ago) that shows me the current drive temp from it's internal probes: camcontrol cmd -n da -u 0 -c "4D 0 76 0 0 0 0 0 20 0" -i 32 "s9 i1" Is there anywhere I can find a list of such command strings and what they do? (other than the ones in the camcontrol man page) Are they generally vendor specific?
