Lately I've been getting the following messages during my nightly cvsup
runs, and the cvsup process crashes and burns.  I haven't had this occur
during anything except cvsup, but cvsup tends to exercise the disks A LOT.
(so does the nightly security/daily check run, but that hasn't crashed
either... odd.)  Of course, then again, I haven't built a new kernel or
made world recently.

Does this mean one of my swap partitions is going bad?  If so, which one?
(I have three SCSI disks: da0, da1, and da2)

The "bp" number changes (but not by much), whereas the "vp" number is
always the same in all of my error messages, as is the "#da", "size",
"resid", "a_count", "valid", "nread", "reqpage", "pindex", and
"pcount" numbers.

Can anyone help me diagnose what's going on here, so that I know which
SCSI disk to yank out and replace?

Thanks!
