hrm... ?

Doing it again:

now says both disks are having problems (I removed the other two disks
and just keeping the two root drives in array unit 1):

Unit     UnitType  Status         %RCmpl  %V/I/M  Port  Stripe  Size(GB)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
u0       RAID-1    DEGRADED*      -       -       -     -       74.4951
u0-0     DISK      WARNING        -       -       p1    -       74.4951
u0-1     DISK      DEGRADED       -       -       p0    -       74.4951


What the ?

I tested both of these under WinXP and they come up fine.  No errors,
nothing when running windows.  Under FreeBSD, it throws those errors
above and then sets them degraded (and then the bios flags them on
reboot) - but if I run windows, it never flags them and everything is
fine.

Another thing I noticed is that under FreeBSD the drives will starts
"clicking" and making god awful noises, really loud clicking like the
heads are jerking back and forth really fast.  Doesn't happen in
windows, they run really quite and smooth.  Is this some sort of bad
driver messing up my disks?  I don't know what the hell it's doing to
my drives, but it sounds god awful... I have it booted in windows now
and it doesn't do that.  I've never seen this before.

Why does it keep clicking my drives like that and why is it throwing
errors?  I've rebuild this array about a half dozen times already.

I synced to 6.2 rel and rebuild both kernel and world, but something
doesn't seem right :(
