Hey all, I am currently experiencing the same problem as Chad is describing and would like to help debug it if somebody knows the ata-driver good enough to help fix the problem in -stable. My box started rebooting every fews days and typically when doing high disk-activity, e.x. compiling. I have not found a easy way to get it to crash though - but 'build world' normally does the trick. The problem started after having upgraded from 3-x-STABLE to 4.4-STABLE - so I have the same felling that it must be a problem with the ata-driver over the previous wd-driver. I have tried both with and without softupdates - no difference. I expect it to be a kernel issue, esspessialy when I hear that -current might fix it and I have tried changing harddisks, disabling/enabling dma-access, pio, s.m.a.r.t with no difference. I while back I opened this bug report: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=31233 Please email me if you need more information.
