I'm not trying to use any twe-specific monitoring tools and haven't tested to see if the twe driver notices disk errors. I believe that the driver does not handle more than 4 GB of RAM and requires bounce-buffers. Testing consisted of running "make buildworld" in a loop with a kernel building in a loop at the same; see if it's still running after a week and fsck is clean.
