I think this is not hd problem because it's new disk. Been use under
two months. But actually there's no master on ad5. I'm recently moved
to freebsd so I'd like to know if there is anything I need to conf (on
fstab etc) if I move that drive from slave to master? Like would
/dev/ad5s1d then be like ad5s1a or something?

I think I'll try other cable too when I change it to be master.
