I see the same problem with a pair of Quantum Viking II U2W disks on an
Adaptec controller.  The notices seem to be less frequent with 3.1-RELEASE
than 3.0, but are still there.

It could be that Quantum has updated firmware for these beasts, but I
wonder if there is something in the ahc0 driver that might be a little
wacky.  This is the 7890 chipset on an Asus P2B board of some sort.
