It's not that bad right now.
It was then but the array (3511) reported several times 'Drive NOTIFY: Media 
Error
Encountered - 163A981 (311)' and then I got all of these CKSUM errors.
Once it stabilized (drive finally filed and was replaced by hotspare)
I see no CKSUM errors after few days. Looks like drive was failing,
etc. But still I'm surprised that the array returned bad data (raid-5
on the array). We see such messages once in a while on several 3511s.
