You should check two things:

a) If you have Quantum drives running old firmware (L912 or later) then
you should update them from ftp://ftp.qntm.com/pub/support/Firmware. 
There are serious bugs in the older versions which can cause malfunction
like this.

b) You're running Justin's latest SCSI code in 2.2-GAMMA.  See today's
snapshot in ftp://22gamma.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD for a good target.
