Disk Hanging Interruptions

[MALKIN@ALMADEN.IBM.COM]

I'm the system administrator for a network of 3605's, 3640's, 3670's
and a 3620.  Every so often (~once a week) our file server (one of
the 3670's) hangs and crashes into the FEP command mode with the
error:

      Disk Hung, did not respond for 60 seconds.

Usually, all I have to do to get back into the regular command mode is
to execute "continue" at the FEP prompt.  Even though the recovery is
simple, these interruptions are ever so irritating since whenever this
error occurs, no one can access the main file system.  Anyone have any
thoughts on avoiding these interruptions?
