[rescue] E5000 disk issue

I've noticed an issue with my e5K. I rebooted yesterday (I rarely
reboot this box since you can do a lot dynamically) and none of my
zones were coming up. So I checked and the disk on which I have zones
was not mounted.

Ok, not a problem, I issue a mount and start my zones. Didn't think
too much of it at the time.

This morning I was loading a database on a different drive (that the
database zone has access to) and noticed how slow it was.

iostat showed 1100Kw/s and %b 96 to 100!

Isn't that kind of slow for the SCSI on the IOBoard to a ST130 with 10
K rpm U320 drives (I know it only does u160 but still). Digging in
dmesg I see:

I also have a CDROM and DDS tape on the same controller (connected
thru the front and into the 5000 chassis.

Any idea what is going on?
