[Nik: CC'd to freebsd-questions for amusement value, and in the
hope that if you can't help me, someone can - my brain has died]

Well, it's a bit of a long shot but you might be able to help.

I recently upgraded one of our machines from 2.2.2-RELEASE to 2.2.5-RELEASE
and since then I've been getting strange errors which cause the machine to
hang up, viz:

ncr0: timeout ccb=f0d12400 (skip)
ncr0: timeout ccb=f0d12800 (skip)

Power cycling / resetting the machine appears to be the only way of getting
out of this.

I also get (intermittently) 'COMMAND FAILED' errors on sd0 or sd1 (more
commonly sd1) immediately prior to this.

Most commonly these errors occur when accessing particular partitions,
which leads me to believe there are some problems with the disks themselves
rather than the controller card; additionally, the problem persists despite
testing the machine with another (identical) controller card.

So, my questions: _is_ it a problem with the disks? (should I be looking
for replacements?) or is there something else I've missed?

Thanks in advance

Keith
