Hello,

The drive is a Quantum XP32150.

The error on the console is exactly as I listed; a problem in a line
in the file ncr.c. The error that shows up in the shell, or when I
attempt to telnet to the machine when the problem is happening,
indicates that it can't find a certain file or program (the target of
my "ls", for example) and then it says "Input/output error".

"Risner" suggested that I could reproduce the problem by using the
disk heavily; I ran several dozen "find . -print &" commands from the
/ directory as root, simultaneously, without reproducing the error. He
also suggested I use ncrcontrol" to set the tags to 0, but it's
unclear from the ncrcontrol manpage how to go about doing that.

Thanks for your help.

Dan Stevenson
