We have received these errors on several different systems (several
different controller/disk combinations.) Sometimes the disk stops working
and sometimes we get a couple of the error messages and then things
proceed normally. 

I would like to know what the errors mean and under what circumstances
they occur. I would also like to know what we should do about them.
