Could it be :-> that your controller is corrupting data when it is "very" busy? I've got two: An Adaptac 7890 Ultra II LVD built into the motherboard that the Seagate disk is on, and an Adaptac 2940UW that the slower devices (CD-ROM, CDR, Jazz) are on. The latter isn't involved in these things - yet, anyway. Bad memory seems like the best bet. The BIOS on the motherboard (a SuperMicro S2DGU) has settings for memory checking that are disabled (it came from the vendor that way, with FreeBSD 2.2.8 installed). Is there any point in turning this on? Anything I can do besides buying another DIMM to plug in to test it?
