I think that as long as the errors are "recovered" they shouldn't cause problems. The $64 question is whether those errors are indicating that you're headed for unrecoverable errors (which will cause problems). If they seem to be increasing in frequency, I'd probably be a little worried. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! SHHHH!!
