I think it's crucial to point out that the disk corruption that Chris is
talking about is "physical," i.e. medium errors.  This is not the same as
data corruption, which a couple people have reported.  The latter is why I
even started working on the sbc SCSI driver in the first place (and is
something I hope to continue soon).
