This will be my last post on this topic. George you are rude and I know 
I will not be offering any more suggestions for you. I foresee few 
others willing to help you now as well. Jeremy has willingly given you a 
great amount of detail to work with and it's up to him to look past your 
rude behavior and continue to help you.

And yet, your still top posting. I was only pointing out the logical 
conclusion here. You've tried the obvious, time to move up the chain. 
I'm sorry you don't happen to like that but there is no need to be rude 
about it.

Don't top post, it's against list policy. See my siganture for a 
reasonable reason why. 

Replace the port or just moved the drive to an unused port? Or did you 
physically remove the card and solder a new SATA Female port to your 
card (which I would imagine would violate/void your warranty on the 
card.

Essentially this is what you've done so far:

1. Changed drives
2. Changed SATA Cable
3. Moved to an unused port

To be perfectly honest, it sounds like a faulty card, which was my 
original assessment. First I would see replacement on the same card 
under the warranty, if it still produces a problem, I would change 
cards. There is a slim chance it could also be a driver issue.

Just a stab in the dark here ... but since you mention the same disk 
almost being removed from the raidz1, maybe the port on the card is bad? 
if you've replaced the disk and the cable(s), then what is left? The 
card.

Did you try symlinking nsplugin.so to $HOME/.mozilla/plugins ? this is
usually what I end up doing to make it work. I forget if 64bit flash was
fixed or not, if it wasn't you may need nswrapper or the like to run the
32bit plugin binaries.

I've got a similar issue via the thread about a 2y/o laptop and a new hard
drive. Linux sees the drive fine and can use it but freebsd cannot for some
reason.
