I have a Pentium P90 Intel Zappa, FreeBSD 2.1.5 NFS server. It has one AHA
2940 + 3 Seagate disks (2+4+4G) and one AHA 2940 + HP Tape robot

I am getting more and more this kind of error messages. First suspected
the HP dat tape causing them. (That is why I have it in it's own AHA2940).

The errors seem to happen regularly but not in peak hours, the usual clock
times are about 02 04 05 08 14 16 17 19 20 21 22 23. It fits somehow to
the tape activity but not 100%. I am taking backups at night time from
00:00 to 09:00.

Is this a sign of some hardware problem? SCSI cable, terminator, some disk
having malfunction? Or is this the aic7xxx driver problem I have heard?
