I tried to install 2.0.5 on a Conner 1GB drive about 2 weeks ago. I
encountered a very strange problem which eventually caused me to return the
drive.
FreeBSD installed fine on the drive and I had set up most of the system the way
I wanted to, when, for no particular reason, I did an fsck -n. The drive locked
up totally, and would not respond until the machine was power cycled. I
repreated this test several times and got the same results: parallel access to
the drive through the file system and through fsck caused the drive to go
off-line and stay off-line until pwer cycled.
In the messages log there was a peculiar entry associated with this problem. I
don't remember it exactly, but it was something like:
sd1: Ooops, not queued
I now have a Quantumn Fireball 1080s which is working just fine.
