Hot on the tails of a recent Barracuda failure, I installed a Quantum 
XP34300 and upgraded from 2.0.5 to 2.1-Release (nice install btw.) 

When putzing around with small file operations everything seems
cool enough but when i attempt to mget or cp several hundred files
i invariably get a stream of i/o errors.

Feb  3 23:54:54 bart /kernel: assertion "cp" failed: file "../../pci/ncr.c", line 5560
Feb  3 23:54:54 bart /kernel: sd1(ncr0:2:0): COMMAND FAILED (4 28) @f09b5400.

                            [repeated ad nauseum]


And on a reboot,

DIRECTORY /foo: LENGTH 2576 NOT A MULTIPLE OF 512 (ADJUSTED)
FREE BLK COUNTS(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK (SALVAGED)
BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS (SALVAGED)
SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD (SALVAGED)
CLEAN FLAG NOT SET IN SUPERBLOCK (FIXED)


Is there a known failing in the ncr driver vis a vis the Quantum Atlas
that -STABLE corrects?

Also, it hurts me to say this and I'm begining to fear for the worst,
the drive will be quiet for several minutes and then all of a sudden
start to emit these grinding/rattling/sickening burps every 20 seconds
or so.
