Are these disks real SCSI or are they USB disks that appear as sd[ab]? This might be important. I have recently used a laptop disk in a usb external box and it appears that the usb-storage sub-system generates such a voluminous (debugging?) output that /var/log/syslog, /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/debug grow amazingly fast. If your /var is in /dev/sda6, 8.2G could be filled up quicker than your CDs. If your /var is somewhere smaller, so much the faster.
