Hello Bob, >>can be hardware reasons for timeouts such as a dying disk or cable, >>but I think we've eliminated these in our case.

However, moving back to an older kernel changes the severity of the problem from a timeout every 2 to three minutes during heavy activity to about 4 or 5 in a 24 hour period. That doesn't sound like hardware to me. Regards, Tony. -- Tony Byrne
