have just checked the power supply in the unit. It looks like 235W.
There are two fans
three PCI cards
three HD (one IDe, two SATA)
one CD-RW
is 235W not enough to run all this? I could easily put in a 350W for not much outlay.
Last error I got was "unable to write meta data".

I was doing another install of oracle, which involves extracting from the gzip. The Mirror is NFS exported.
When I reboot the mirror comes back, but with ad6 detached and ad4 mounted in a DEGRADED state. Which has
happened to me many times. Why ad4 comes back on reboot? It shouldn't. The mirror should come back on reboot with ad6 in COMPLETE and then I can insert ad4 back in. Am I wrong?
Next time the disk detached..always seems to be ad4??? I just did a reboot. The mirror started and ad4 was re-inserted automatically and began rebuilding it. Strange. And both drives are busy for about 4 hours during the rebuild so can't see it being the power supply.
I just wonder if I have a corrupt CD or FreeBSD has a issue with my SATA card. (SiL 3512) or something else? I'm really scratching my head now. Ironically I chose FreeBSD for its stability.
As many people seem to have no issues...I may just junk this machine (it also has problems with my KVM) and get another MB and powersupply and hopefully that cures things.
I'm just so short of cash at the moment.
