So do I. See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/29045
Nobody responded to my last post on this pr, and I have no idea
where to go from here without direction. This level of technical
debugging is quite beyond me at this time. But the problem still
exists, it happened again earlier this week (even with the drives
throttled to ata33). What kind of HDD are you using? Personally,
I suspect HW problems, and I seem to recall a few months ago,
someone else with IBM HDDs complaining about the same thing. Have
there been any patches to the ata code that could affect this? If
so, I'll update this machine and see if it continues to be a problem.
