Gotcha

Well - here's what I did (it's now ada6 after rebooting, config):

Code:
gpart delete -i 1 ada6
gpart destroy ada6
gpart create -s gpt ada6
gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -b 1M ada6
newfs ada6p1
Just for kicks, I did a fsck - but no errors

I then proceeded to do the same rsync. After 01:58:51 (~2 hours), it had only reached up to linux-2.6.31/arch/arm/mach-realview/core.c - still in the very first 'root' directory.

I've also spotted that when doing the gpart/umount/newfs/etc. under this disk, it takes significantly longer than the wd black drive did - maybe 5-6x as long. Most noticeable was the newfs - parts of it near the middle raced through, but the majority of the others suffered a delay.

Sometimes even doing an ls or rm -rf hung; in rm's instance, top showed it just sitting in the biowr state for about 4 minutes.

All I can assume is that the disk is therefore faulty
