Only PIO mode works with this disk, motherboard and FreeBSD. It used to work with an earlier version of FreeBSD, I think 4.9. I don't know if FreeBSD has been a bit 'over-tuned' to work with this disk, or it is simply a disk that is starting to go bad. I don't really want to waste any more time experimenting with it - I have just put the disk on the shelf for now. -- Mike Jeays http://ca.geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Availability of a journaling file system

Hi in freebsd this is called softupdates and can be enables using tunefs (see the man page).
