Hello there; more news on this issue :-(

Since broke again after I replaced the power supply and add an extra
ahc2940 controller...

	So, let's recap:
- It is not the controller (we replaced the one on the failing bus)
- It is not the drives (we've replaced them since the problem started)
- It is not the cables (maybe it is - I had to cut longer cables to get
what I needed)
- It is not a corrupted / file system (the last crash, the drives that
went down were not on the same bus as the / )
- It is not power (this is on a dual balanced 350W PSs).
- It is not the operating system (2.2.5 2.2-stable 2.2.6 they all do the
same thing)

Oh, I reduced the bus speed in the spool bus (the one with the problem)
from 40mb/s to 20mb/s, and I newfs the partition, just in case. ie, I've
disabled.

Is there a way I can tell the drives to spin at 5200 rpm instead of 7200
rpm?
How solid is ccd ?
