Full details don't seem to have appeared yet, but the reports I've seen
seem to say that out of the three C&C computers (one live, two backups)
at least 2 have experienced hard-drive failures/problems. One has been
pulled and replaced with a spare and will be returned to Earth on the
shuttle, the other has apparently had a software tweak to limit drive
usage.
Check the mission updates on sci.space.news and also the coverage on The
Register at
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/2/18526.html and
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/2/18540.html (the second report
corrects the faulty assumptions of the first).
