I have been chasing intermittent problems with my hard disks for a while
now, and have replaced nearly everything, including drives, in an
attempt to fix them. I had convinced myself that it must be a
motherboard problem so I just swapped out to the one listed below. Disk
errors show up at the end of the dmesg. This machine acts as a backup
server, with data coming in from a Windows machine (via samba) and then
a mass of rsync and gtar/gzip activity.

What I was wondering is whether the problem might be something other
than hardware. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks, Steve
