I have a strange situation here; I've got two sets of two disk drives chained to my SCSI bus here that I use for data drives. (Not currently using softupdates.) From a df: Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da1s1e 4050327 3644898 81403 98% /a /dev/da2s1e 4050327 2933727 792574 79% /b /dev/da3s1c 17253247 158881 15714107 1% /c /dev/da4s1c 17253247 9725925 6147063 61% /d They're connected like this, with "-->" representing cables connecting the boxes: (externalbox #1) (externalbox #2) PC --> [SCSI 3, SCSI 4] --> [SCSI 1, SCSI 2] Oh yea, dmesg might be useful. Attached at end. Anyway, here's the problem: When I dismount and disconnect that last box, remove it from fstab, put terminators after externalbox #1, I find that upon reboot FreeBSD screams mightily, says I need to do an fsck on drives 3 and 4, and dumps me in single-user mode. OK, re-attach the box, leave it off... and I still get wild complaints. Lastly, turn on box #2, but don't mount the drives -- and it boots up fine! I'm completely puzzled here. Any suggestions?
