Interesting idea - all partitons were created with gpart add -a 8
but I have explictly checked, and I cant currently access the drives.
Was there eer a bug in gpart which could cause this that you can
remember ? The drives are GPT partitoned.

When I gte the drives back online on a system I will check this though, thanks
