I've also seen parity errors where the drive generated '0' for its
parity bit and needed a jumper setting changed.  I've had three tape
drives and one cd player do this to me over the years.

Hello everyone, sorry for the delay of this reply but I was out for work...

The problem is gone now. I think it is due to the fact I disabled squid on 
one HD of my chain and I move the proxy server on another box. Perhaps it 
was the heavy load that makes the system unstable and HDs quite hot. I 
check also the cable, but I don't find anything odd...

I hope everything is now solved...
Thanks to everyone for the kind replies.

The last one is a log extract quite similar to yours ... it's Adaptec that's
seemingly causing the problems here. I'm running 3.3-RELEASE, and problems
started on two machines with a lot of disk usage (both news related) when I
upgraded from 3.1/3.2 - 3.3. The fact that this hasn't been fixed anywhere in
the cvsup route makes me rather sad. I'm really waiting for fixes/patches ..

There was a corruption problem caused by a bug in the 7890/1 chips that
Justin worked around in the ahc driver shortly after 3.3 went out the door.
This generally only manifested itself under high load.

Your problem is probably very different than Gianmarco's problem, since he
has the fix.  His problem is most likely cabling or termination.

In any case, you need to upgrade to the latest -stable, or wait until 3.4
comes out to fix your problem.
