Hello,

Now that these drives no longer immediately panic the system (see other thread), I see another problem. The drive is a mini LaCie 250 GB 2.5". On connecting the drive I see:

Feb 13 20:44:25 mars root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x059f product 0x0c41 bus uhub3 Feb 13 20:44:25 mars kernel: umass1: <LaCie LaCie Hard Drive USB, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 3> on uhub3

uname -a:
FreeBSD mars.altus-escon.com 7.0-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE #20: Wed Feb 13 20:22:18 CET 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ obj/usr/src/sys/MARS amd64

When accessing the drive I get lots of these errors:

Feb 13 22:27:30 mars kernel: (da1:umass-sim1:1:0:0): SYNCHRONIZE CACHE. CDB: 35 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Feb 13 22:27:30 mars kernel: (da1:umass-sim1:1:0:0): CAM Status: SCSI Status Error Feb 13 22:27:30 mars kernel: (da1:umass-sim1:1:0:0): SCSI Status: Check Condition Feb 13 22:27:30 mars kernel: (da1:umass-sim1:1:0:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:20,0 Feb 13 22:27:30 mars kernel: (da1:umass-sim1:1:0:0): Invalid command operation code
Feb 13 22:27:30 mars kernel: (da1:umass-sim1:1:0:0): Unretryable error

After each message it takes a moment for I/O to start again, so I/O performance is terrible. From reading sys/cam/README.quirks, I see there is a DA_Q_NO_SYNC_CACHE quirk that can be added, but this should only be done on a device or system hang. Is this enough cause? Or is there something else I can try?

Thanks,
Ben
