Sorry this is getting so long, but to follow up...
I have done the following to try to resolve this problem:
1. remade the devices in /dev (no change)
2. checked termination of SCSI chain etc. (no problems I can see)
3. connected the disks to a 2940 controller on another machine
(dodo) - they are in an external enclosure, with the terminator in the
same position etc. In this case I was able to label the disks without
any problem, but when I reconnected them to the first machine, the
problem appeared again.
The differences between the 2 machines are:
dodo: 2940 with normally 1 disk on internal bus (this one works OK
with the 2 additional disks from anfi)
anfi: 2x2940 with 8 disks and a tape drive.
controller 1: 1x2GB disk (sd0)
1x4GB disk (sd1)
2x9GB disk (sd2,sd3 => ccd0)
controller 0: 2x4GB disk (sd4,sd5 => ccd1) - this is a very
busy squid cache
1xHP DAT drive
2x4GB disk (sd6,sd7) - these are the problem
disks)
Could the problem be related to the problems with the ahc driver that were
recently fixed in the 2.1.7.1 point release? If so, is there any way I
could migrate those changes into my 2.1.6 system in the interim until I
have an opportunity to upgarde the machine. I need to get these disks
working on the machine so I can update my ftp site (including the FreeBSD
mirrors).
Any other suggestions ??
Thanks,
Carey Nairn
