There are two 36GB disk behing ESP and two behind Qlogic (== my backup plan :) There is also CD-ROM and DDS-3 plugged to ESP-bus and at least the DDS-3 is working fine (didn't even test the CD-ROM still). Past about two hours the machine has pushed the OS part of disks once to DDS-3 with tar and no problem. Now it's doing same with dump while compiling RPMS - no problems what so ever.
