Just did a fresh install of 3.0-RELEASE on a machine that previously ran
2.2.7-STABLE. It's a Viglen XX server with two 7880 chips on the
motherboard. It has three Fujitsu M2934 wide drives on each scsi bus,
connected thus: 

7880 -> (da0) 2934 : (da1) 2934 : (da2) 2934 : CDROM : TAPE
7880 -> (da3) 2934 : (da4) 2934 : (da5) 2934

I have the system on da0 and want to make a ccd of drives da1 and da3.
However, when I try to newfs the newly created ccd...

# newfs /dev/rccd0a
Warning: 1280 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/ccd0a:     17013504 sectors in 4154 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096
sectors
        8307.4MB in 260 cyl groups (16 c/g, 32.00MB/g, 7936 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
n1, n2, n3, n4 etc.

Then the block numbers stop. First time it happened I thought the machine
had hung, so I sshed in and rebooted it. Upon the console appeared:

syncing disks x y x ...
giving up
ahc0: data parity error detected during address or write data phase

Next time I tried it, I noticed that it hadn't actually hung, but was
still printing a block number every couple of minutes or so. I killed it
and after a few minutes got my prompt back. Then the same newfs command
worked perfectly?
Any ideas what caused that?
Cheers.
