pciide1:1:0: bus-master DMA error: missing interrupt, status=0x20

It's trying to write and it recovers; which means hey I ran into a  
bad block and I was able to recover from that. All's good!

Enough of these means your disk is about to go tits up.

Do a "dd if=/dev/rwd3c of=/dev/null bs=1m" that should at least clear  
up the worst issues.  Do it a few days later and see if there are new  
errors.  If so toss the drive; if not you can trust it as far as you  
can throw it.

I think he (Steve) is correct in his diagnosis, the drive being bad  
seems
logical however I have been chasing some problems with ioapic and  
interrupts
myself on a similar setup, the drive in question is attached to  
pciide1
which shares interrupt 17 with possibly bunch of other devices in  
the dmesg
e.g. auich and fxp, and the soft error being corrected is missing  
interrupt,
just a guess on my part but I have been having similar problems and  
have
just started recently to go poking about for answers. What I can  
suggest
 is that he attempt to maybe disable some of the device he doesn't  
use e.g.
serial,parallel,midi or game ports and hope that the bios uses these
interrupts for something else (hasn't worked for me with my bios  
but its
worth a shot I guess).

Dude you're disk is dying on you.  Replace it ASAP.

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
