 I believe this was the same problem described in:
 
   http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=29045
 
 Plus, if the below article was correct...
 
 http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&safe=off&th=127674b89a58577c,7&seekm=PaV9
 7.311316%24XL1.5437943%40nlnews00.chello.com#p
 
 then the problem was with the IBM-DTLA drives. That was what I was afraid of... 
 we have quite a few of those drives.
 
 The google article stated the data was always corrupted at the end of a 0x1000 
 block. Will that offer some insight to the problem? It will be nice there is a 
 work around beside running the drives at U33. I send an email to IBM harddrive 
 support and see if they reply.
 
 Regards
