One is a 8 gig Maxtor running at UDMA/33 and the other is a 40 gig Maxtor running at UDMA/66. When I try to do large writes to either drive, gunzip'ing a large file, sorting a large file, or any other type of intensive writing to the drive, I get the following errors repeatedly: Apr 22 05:02:40 37 /kernel: ad0: UDMA ICRC WRITE ERROR blk# 13597744 retrying On the 8 gig drive, this will continue without any real effects, but on the 40 gig drive, it will go so far as to halt/reboot my machine. I have checked dmesg, and there doesn't appear to be any IRQ conflicts. Has anyone else run across this, or possibly know what is going on? Any help will be appreciated.
