Running 6.1-R I have a new dell dimension 5150 workstation with an Intel ICH7 sata chipset onboard. I've currently got a pair of WDC WD3000JD disks installed running a gmirror set. The problem is that the second disk on a fairly regular basis drops off the bus. I'm convinced that it's not the disks or cables as I've swapped out the disk and cabling already. I was able to find a number of reports from other people suffering simmilar issues using ICH7 controllers but no real solution. This is starting to feel like a driver problem. Yeah for SATA hotswap and being able to reinit the controllers but that's already gotten old. (The drive will not show up with a reinit until it has been powered off/on.) Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here? If there is any other information I should provide, please let me know. Currently: ATA channel 2: Master: ad4 <WDC WD3000JD-00KLB0/08.05J08> Serial ATA v1.0 Slave: no device present When the second disk is present it shows up as ad5, the slave on ATA channel 2. There are a couple of errors associated with the disk dropping off the bus: ad5: timeout waiting to issue command ad5: error issuing WRITE_DMA command GEOM_MIRROR: Request failed (error=5). ad5[WRITE(offset=29788618240, length=16384)] GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad5 disconnected.
