Rescanning works for all devices present at boot-time given a rescan a:b:c for this single device only. A Rescan of the whole bus hangs. A Rescan a:b:c of a device that has just been tuned on or off also hangs. So after all Rescan is working exactly in those cases when it's useless. :-) I guess I'll try to contact the author now... cu Gerrit To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
