Hello everyone!
As a newcomer here, I hope I'm excused if I forget to mention anything useful in my post.
My problem is this; I have set up a NAS using Zotac H55-ITX, using 6 pcs of 500GB discs; 2 WD GP, and 3 pcs Barracuda 7200.11, and one 7200.12.
All these 6 drives are bunched into a raidz2. Everything is working excellent hardware-wise with those.
But I need a OS-drive too, so I installed a RocketRaid 2300, 4-port PCIe controllercard, which I use for my WD Scorpio Black 320GB. Now this drive is behaving very odd, since it is ticking awfully. And yes, its the Load_Cycle_Count, increasing about 10-20 per minute. Totally not worth it.
I have been googling alot to find a solution to this problem, but nothing seems to work. I have figured out that I need to use "camcontrol cmd.." as presented in another thread here in the matter. (http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=8841&highlight=load_cycle_count&page=2)
I think I have gotten the command right, but I cant get it to accept it. I just get an error.
If I disconnect all my drives and put the Scorpio on the MB ports, it still clicks, but the command is working, and the cycles stop afaik. So, I connected one of the ZFS drives to the RR-card instead, but then that drive started to tick instead. I tried both a WD and a Seagate.
Here are some commands, and their output.
Please tell if I missed something vital, and I'll update with needed info.
