+Sorry for the noise - notabug - [[done]]
+
+Setup:
+
+* git-annex version: 3.20120629 on Debian unstable.
+* external RAID1 array connected via usb
+
+I did: <code> git-annex add \<a specific album of ogg files\> </code>
+
+When it gets to the fourth song, there is a long delay and a bunch of "journal commit I/O error" from the kernel start appearing. Then GNOME helpfully tells me that my drive was just connected (implying that it thought it was disconnected momentarily)
+
+Log outputs:
+
+Both trying to add whole album, failing at song 4
+
+* <http://paste.mitechie.com/show/745/>
+* <http://paste.mitechie.com/show/746/>
+
+Just trying to add song 4 individually
+
+* <http://paste.mitechie.com/show/747/> (lots o' journal commit I/O errors that time)

+That's not a git-annex error, your drive is dying.
+
+I'm sure if you tried just playing the song you'll get the same errors.

+Probably right, the song in question is not playing fully and causing same error.
+
+Time to go into crises mode...
