It's an older Conner 540MB drive (CP3540), but this drive has been serving me well in another machine. I have it partitioned into a ~150MB /home partition, a ~32MB auxiliary swap partition, and two other partitions (one ~200MB and one ~150MB) that are currently not in use. Anyway, after I installed and partitioned this disk, I started to get these error messages both on my console (in bright white letters) and in my syslogs. These messages do not cause a kernel panic or something, and the system seems to run well despite them. Since seeing the first message I've been making hourly backups of my /home partition and comparing them, and all the data compares OK. Visually inspecting the files in /home shows no errors either. What could be going on here? Any ideas? I have already checked SCSI IDs and termination, and everything is A-OK. Please respond by e-mail if possible. Thanks!
