AH, of course, I spoke too soon. Also, I discovered something interesting about this problem: As long as I keep my disk 'fullness' below 75%, I don't see the problem as often. Once my web-captures try to fill the disk past about 75/80%, then the churn rate of new data ( about 1GiB every 4min ) combined with the purge rate of the old data will cause the scsi device to become lost very quickly.
