Alright, we definitely have some problems on sipb-server-1.

	* After a reboot, the system failed to find the disks on esp0
	  at all (the previous time, it failed to find the disks until
	  I ran the "format" command, but I was able to label them
	  fine).

	* When attempting to label the disks on esp1, I get:

		esp1: Current command timeout for Target 1 Lun 0
		esp1:   State=DATA_DONE (0xa), Last State=DATA (0x9)
		esp1:   Cmd dump for Target 1 Lun 0:
		esp1:   cdb=[ 0xa 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x1 0x0 ]
		esp1: Target 1.0 reducing sync. transfer rate
		sd5:    SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset': giving up

	  I tried changing the terminator, but that didn't help.

I'm going to try testing the disks on another machine (probably
bill-the-cat) for obvious problems like this, but given the SCSI
errors we were getting on the machine before, it's probably a problem
with the machine itself.  Jonathon, how difficult would it be to
arrange a swap?
