Thanks Gerard, and my personal thanks also to Ed Hall who pointed me in the right direction at the right moment. My newsfeed machine (with the sym driver) has been up for 20 days now, without a glitch except for this single log entry: (da0:sym0:0:0:0): READ(10). CDB: 28 0 0 df f7 75 0 0 80 0 (da0:sym0:0:0:0): RECOVERED ERROR info:dff7cc asc:13,0 (da0:sym0:0:0:0): Address mark not found for data field sks:80,3 (da0:sym0:0:0:0): READ(10). CDB: 28 0 0 df f7 c5 0 0 30 0 (da0:sym0:0:0:0): RECOVERED ERROR info:dff7cd asc:17,8 (da0:sym0:0:0:0): Recovered data without ECC - recommend rewrite But I couldn't see any error reports on the application level... The load is about 50 Mbit/s on the ethernet, and 3 Mbyte/s on each one of the two disks. The software is Diablo-1.25 (on FreeBSD-3.3). The machine is a Compaq Proliant 1850R (a strange Micro$oft-sucking bizarre creature, but yeah I already knew that). The main thing is, it works!
