The problem is still there when the LVM is only on a single SCSI volume.
In fact, changing the volume from one drive to the other shows SCSI
errors on the new drive and the old drive used on a non LVM file system
stops having errors.

When I ran an fsck on the file system with the errors (I did not re-do
this experiment recently) it found bad blocks on the files system, but
no inconsistencies on the file system itself.
