I have a NetBSD 2.0.2, i386, with an uptime of 238 days. The install
is about a year and a half old, running 24/7 since May 2005.

It has three WDs, and wd1/wd2 are a mirror. Nothing has changed
physically in the system, so the usual 'cable problem' suggestion 
doesn't seem to apply.

These started in September, and have become common:

Sep 19 08:58:28 mail /netbsd: wd0a: error writing fsbn 1114304 of 1114304-1114319 (wd0 bn 1114367; cn 1105 tn 8 sn 23), retrying
Sep 19 08:58:29 mail /netbsd: wd0: (aborted command, interface CRC error)
Sep 19 08:58:29 mail /netbsd: wd0: soft error (corrected)

They show up on wd0 and wd1, which share a controller, and a cable. 
All errors are corrected so far. (18 on wd0, 19 on wd1) 

All of the errors occur while writing, and there's no locality 
amongst the sectors invovled in the errored writes.

The smart status shows a high count on wd0 for raw read error rate and
hardware ECC recovered errors, so I'm inclined to replace that drive.

There's also no obvious pattern to the frequency.

Comments welcome, in case there's something else I've forgetten to
consider.. Thanks.
