   I have 3 scsi disks in my system. One of them is a IBM-spitfire, 1gb
   fast-scsi-2, connected to my ahc-2940w.

   When I try to dump(8) this disk it always fails, with a lot of
   messages logged to the console (log/messages attached).

   My other 2 scsi- and 3 ide-disks dump(8) with out problems!

   "dd if=/dev/rsd1a of=/dev/null" and "iozone" run ok, while "tar cf
   /dev/null /usr2" also fails, when the disk is close-to full.

   Can anybody help me with this?

I can't help, but I can verify another case, we had had exactly the same
problem with an ncr PCI controller and ibm 0662 (spittfire).  I switched
the spittfire to a 4G hawk and the problem went away, so I have thought
that it could be a disk firmware problem.  FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 with a BT SCSI
does not seem to have such trouble with spittfires, though.
