Julian Elischer: |1/ choose a moment when you are not doing much | |2/ use the scsi -r command. you will need to use it against an already |existing device, e.g. /dev/rsd0 |man 8 scsi Having the same need for my scanner, I tried this: # scsi -f /dev/uk0 -r -b 0 -t 6 scsi: unable to open device /dev/uk0: Device not configured scsi(8) says rescanning isn't necessary for "fixed" SCSI devices since reopening the device rescans, and it says to see scsi(4) for a description of fixed scsi devices. scsi(4) doesn't contain the word "fixed". So I guess my question is, how can I set things up such that my scanner (currently uk0) a "fixed" SCSI device so I can get access to the rescan behavior? Thanks in advance, Randall BTW, I have: controller ncr0 controller scbus0 at ncr0 # Single bus device disk sd0 at scbus0 target 5 unit 0 # sd0 = ZIP Drive device uk0 at scbus0 target 6 unit 0 # uk0 = Scanner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
