: What do we have:
:        A P90-asus with NCR controller with a quantum 2.1 Empire as sd2.
:
: And this baby is generating a medium error on just one location.
: Jun 13 22:19:50 iaehv kernel: sd2(ncr0:2:0): medium error, info = 2817606 (decimal)
:
: The funny (??) thing is that this cause I/O errors in INN in serveral spool
: directories. 


I have the same problems with my Quantum Empire 1.4G and NCR53c810
periodically ... and after reformating it on an Apple Mac Computer
there are no more or no less *real* "Bad Blocks" on my disk.

Quantum Lables some of his Harddisks as "SCSI-III" ... and
this sort of Disks seems to make trouble with FreeBSD & NCR.

Ask Stefan Esser (NCR driver dev.) for more informations.

I sell my Quantum Empire ! I'm very happe with my new Quantum Atlas SCSI-II
Disk Drive.
