Hi all.  I'm getting the following error occassionally (especially when I'm
trying to compile gcc:
wd0b:hard error writing fsbn 13837 of 13832-13839 (wd0bn 30683; cn 120 tn 4 sn
15) 

It took me a while to figure this out, but this is my swap partition!

When this happens, my machine dies, and i have to reboot.  It's happened about
3-4 times now.  I don't know how to fix it.  Any suggestions?
Thanx...alex...
