I have also seen this problem with a couple of my file servers.  The only 
similarity is that we are running NetWare 4.1.  I didn't have any problems 
with these servers until they went from 4.02 to 4.1.  

I have pretty much gone insane trying to track down the problem.  I have 
replaced the drive controlers (tried different ones), scsi cables, and got 
the latest drivers for everything.

The last thing I did was to create the volumes so that file compression was 
NOT enabled. (Don't we just love restoring files?)  This along with the 
patches from 410PT1.EXE from netware MAY have solved the problems.  It has 
been about a week now and I haven't had files go bad (that I know of).

Hope this helps...
