I'm using several 2940-connected ccd-drives in a heavily loaded
machine (not NFS, though) and had problems from somewhere after
2.2BETA until a few days agon in 2.2-STABLE.

The NCR driver in NetBSD-1.2 failed for me a number of times, don't
know how close it is to FreeBSD. It seems the adaptec driver is better
when you happen to get the right version (avoid releases ;-), while
the integral of good state over time is better for the NCR.

BTW, I'm now having problems with a 1542-baded machine under heavy
load, too. Ran completely stable under 960801-SNAP and 2.2BETA, but
now (2.2 until 2.2-STABLE of a few days ago) permanently destroys its
filesystems under load. I'm pretty sure its not hardware.
