Well Sebastian, it looks like 5.3 has solved all my problems. I put my drive under extreme duress last night with a sustained load of about 22M/s with spikes up to 24 (according to the gkrellm monitor). This went on for about 20 minutes. Not even a flinch. I'm pretty well convinced that whatever problem I was having in 5.2.1 is gone. Excellent job by the FreeBSD dev group! (ROUSING APPLAUSE). I hope you are able to solve your Promise SATA issues soon. Sorry I can't help with specifics, but here's what I have: Intel ICH5 SATA150 controller Western Digital WD1600JD-75HBB0/08.02D08 drive (160G) The motherboard is the Dell Dimension 8300. The kernel is smp with much of the cruft ripped out (watch that when you recycle a 5.2.1 kernel config - there are some new devices that are needed in 5.3 :) I updated to RELENG_5_3 (5.3 with security updates) and rebuilt and installed world and kernel (with smp). After this, there were only the usual configuration tweaks to work out. Good luck.
