The UDMA/PIO stuff might not be adjustable if its a SATA controller emulating an IDE controller. I think what is happening here is the NATA driver is detaching the drive and destroying the related dev structures before it finishes cleaning out any pending I/O's, so then when it tries to ad_done() the request it winds up blowing through dead structures. There must be some error messages reported in the console output that we haven't seen yet. You can try: dmesg -N kern.0 -M vmcore.0 And see if any other messages above the 'ad6: FAILURE' message are present. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com>
