Ok. I dropped back to .101 (which is UP) to see if the problem persisted.
They did. I went home and forced a fsck and the problems seemed to go
away. But they took a nice chunk of my harddrive with them. I tried the
untar/rm test and no errors occurred.
I grabbed the diagnostic utility from Western Digital's website. It
claimed that neither drive had any errors. So I ran .109 SMP again.
After a couple untar/rm tests, the errors came back. I forced a fsck and
recompiled the kernel UP. So far under the UP kernel, the untar/rm test
and several compiles yield no errors. So I'm guessing this might be a SMP
issue.
