I've been having some major problems with my SCSI disks ever since I 
got them installed in the system.

Everything installs great, and the OS detects them and everything, I newfs'd
them, and everything was all peachy there, and they are mounted in my fstab
quite sanely.

However, whenever I try to write to them, any subsequent fsck's will result
in MAJOR hosing....  DUPs galor, bad counts, screwed up directories, etc...


I've got the following setup:

486/50 with 16MB RAM
1 340MB Maxtor IDE Drive
Adaptec 1542B Controller
170MB Quantum SCSI drive
105MB Quantum SCSI drive
0.2.1 kernel with codrve grabbed with XFree86 1.2 on agate....

I'm currently using /dev/as0c and /dev/as1c as the /usr/local and /src2
partitions respectively.

Is there some known problem here..?  It's a little aggravating to have half
the crap you write to a disk go bad on you ;-)

Any thoughts appreciated.

Toodlepip!
Marc 'em.
