Greetings; As I have gone about preparing /dev/sdb to move the install to it, I have had several instances where the machine was frozen, usually for about 70 seconds at a time. Dmesg is reporting that ata2 is being reset, quite a few times. This drive might be one of those that needed a firmware update but I've lost that particular cd. Speedwise, an hdparm -tT shows it to be less than half as fast as the other three drives average. So I think my preps for the move are doomed to failure until that drive is either updated, or warrantied. I'll go tour the seacrate site & see what I can find. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
