Nick, Something else you might try (after upgrading to 2.2-STABLE) would be to set up a serial console and trap the output with a printer, another machine running kermit, Paul Vixie's rtty, etc. In the past I've trapped clues to mystery reboots which otherwise were being lost. I also had a narrow 3243 which I finally sent back after a year+ of suffering with it. Under any kind of high load (eg. amanda backups, bonnie, etc) the drive would spin down and require a power-off reset before working again. (Your machine actually reboots all the way and comes back up, right?) Hopefully the -WT version of the drive is much newer than mine and really only needs Justin's latest to work great. I'm tracking 2.2-STABLE with 3940UW controllers, Atlas I and Barracuda drives and see nothing but stability and high performance since the last driver changes made just ahead of 1997-May-01. -Chris
