Not an issue with OpenBSD in itself. It's a generall "bug" with the firmware. The issue also gets triggered by the allmighty Linux. Even Windows hits that issue, oh wait, i already said, it's not an OS problem, ... If you have one of those disks, turn that "feature" off, get a "fixed" firmware (hehe) or buy something else. WD's trackrecord is reaching Seagate levels. Heck, even Hitachi has remidied itself from the deathstar tech they took over from IBM.
