Hi John,
I'm not sure this will be of any help to you, but did you try more
recent versions of the kernel, to see if it would do any difference ?
(I'm using 2.4.18, and it happens to be as reliable as 2.2.x on my G3
White & Blue.) I also dimly remember a kernel config option to improve
I/O latencies, maybe you could try that one too.

Hi,
I have a Power Tower Pro with a G3/466 card running with scsi drives. I am
running woody with kernel 2.2.20. The drive is hooked up to the internal
scsci bus which supposedly can do 10MB/sec transfers (I think I got the
right specs; I do know that the external bus is half the speed of the
internal). The drive in question is:
mesh: target 1 synchronous at 10.0 MB/s
Vendor: QUANTUM Model: FIREBALL_TM3200S Rev: 300X
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Oops, I goofed and copied the wrong drive:
Vendor: QUANTUM Model: FIREBALL SE8.4S Rev: PJ0A
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi disk sdc at scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0
mesh: target 3 synchronous at 10.0 MB/s
The hdparm from my previous post apply to the above "corrected" drive.
