I am getting entries like this in dmesg. ad10: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=355277839 ad10: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=358666287 smartctl -t long /dev/ad10 shows it to be good though. The results from the times I have run it show it completing successfully every time. I believe I have no reason to suspect a bad disk and it just a crappy chip. From what I have read in the mailing list archives, I believe this to be true. Any one have any opinions otherwise on this or the like? The machine this is running on has releng_5 on it. I was wondering if any one had any suggestions on a good for a good sata pci card that preferably has 4 connectors on it. SiI 3112 sysctl entry if any one is curious. dev.atapci.1.%desc: SiI 3112 SATA150 controller dev.atapci.1.%driver: atapci dev.atapci.1.%location: slot=11 function=0 dev.atapci.1.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x1095 device=0x3112 subvendor=0x1095 subdevice=0x6112 class=0x010400 dev.atapci.1.%parent: pci1
