I've had similar problems with Quantums on wcarchive. With AWRE and ARRE enabled, even if the drive is clearly able to read the block sometimes, it will never do a reallocate. Very annoying. My only solution thus far has been to RMA the drives with Quantum. It would be nice if FreeBSD had a way to force a reallocation... -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
