Im so in need of help...

My FreeBSD fileserver has been giving nothing but issues...

It seems it doesnt like any drives except old 20gb drives. Mind you managed to get 120Gb working well...


All other drives cause issues.
Brand new drives, drives thats been in use perfectly within windows....

/dev/ad0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad6s1d on /mnt/750sg (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/aacd0s1d on /mnt/RaidVolume (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad2s1d on /mnt/250GbMax (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)


Thats how its mounted.

ad6 gives following issues:
Works perectly, under heavy load.....

Had issues with /dev/ad2s1d on /mnt/250GbMax (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) as well.

That drive infact i set down with "atacontrol mode ad2 UDMA66"
Even in this slow mode it also gives issues, just less.

The only thing i can do is reboot then all works fine...
At this stage im considering taking all file server roles off this box as FreeBSD cant handle it.
