I took Leonard Zubkoff's advice and upgraded the firmware on my BusLogic to
5.06J, and the problems I'd been having with my SCSI drive seemed to go away
-- several "e2fsck -fc /dev/sda1" produced no errors, and I was able to
store data on the drive without problem -- but it looks like I spoke too
soon. When I started really using the drive, and used about 1GB of disk
space, the errors came back.
As other people had suggested, I disabled tagged queuing, synchronous
negotiation and disconnect/reconnect. I thought that the problem might be
related to my Umax Astra 1220S, so I disabled it, but I'm still having
trouble with this drive:
