Since Freevo polls for drive changes very 2 seconds, your are reading from the drive every two seconds as long as Freevo is running. I don't think the drive likes that over a longer time.

I'd be tempted to agree. I have a suspicion that somewhere further down FreeBSD caches the data. After the initial poll there is no further activity. Maybe you would know more about this than me? -lewiz. -- I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. -| msn:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | url:www.lewiz.org |- pgpCnBur02w3v.pgp Description: PGP signature
