Hi,

Just for your information. The problem was with a SCSI disk. After a week, it
had more problems and md mirroring removed it. I tried to issue dd.

dd if=/dev/sdf1 of=/dev/null bs=64k
dd: reading `/dev/sdf1': Input/output error

After some seconds the system stopped responding (I saw it when entering the
next command).

My Humble Conclusion. Comaring to HP-UX, Debian is not so stable on PA-RISC
platform. :-)

BR,
Dub
