Hi all:

I was untaring a large tar file with many files in it and suddenly my Seagate SCSI harddrive froze. This showed up on my 
console:

(da0:ahc0:0:0:0) Invalid pack
(da0:ahc0:0:0:0) Invalid pack
(da0:ahc0:0:0:0) SCB 0x23 - timed out while idle, SEQADDR == 0xc
(da0:ahc0:0:0:0) Queing a BDR SCB
(da0:ahc0:0:0:0) no longer in timeout, status = 34a
(da0:ahc0:0:0:0) Invalid pack
(da0:ahc0:0:0:0) Invalid pack
(da0:ahc0:0:0:0) Invalid pack
...

What happened here? It screwed up my /usr partition where I was untaring the files (good thing fsck could restore it). I 
can't afford to have a drive stole like this and corrupt filesystems when I put this box online.  What could've caused this 
failure? I'm running freebsd 4.1-Release. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Simon
