In localhost.freebsd.questions you write: >Hello: >I have a classic funny porblem with SCSI drive (narrow/wide) on Adaptec >2940 UW host adaptor.

The SCSI was initially the only drive in the box. >I greatly appreciate any recommendation, reference ...etc.. I saw this problem with my current configuration when I had a drive that didn't like my configuration (parity off/on, or wide negotiation, or one of those). I got it to work by changing my configuration (I believe I deactivated wide negotiation for the drive). You may want to check your SCSI configuration and play with it to see if you can get it to recognize the drive (termination?). -- bryan k ogawa <bkogawa@primenet.com> http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
