Well, I've done some tests on my sparc64, and I've not been able to reproduce
this problem ...

However, I've seen once what I believe was a (SCSI) disk with a bad cache.
Once in a while I would get corruption of a read-only filesystem (mounted
read/write, but almost never written to). The affected blocks were always
the same. The disk didn't report any error, and the others disks on the same
bus didn't have this problem. I remplaced the disk with another one, of the
exact same model, and I've not seen this problem since.
