Hmm, does this mean, that the SCSI LED stays on,
but there is no further disk activity anymore ?

This could be caused by problems with tags or 
with the SCSI bus. 

Could you try running without tags for some time ? 

And you may want to use async transfers only, just
to test whether it makes a difference (and if it 
does, I'd suspect a cable/termination problem).

Since I'm going on a vacation for two weeks now,
I can't look into this, now. But I'm planning to
improve the error recovery code thereafter ...
