First, some releveant data. SCSI Card is a Buslogic 946c PCI card. Zip is SCSI 5, the only SCSI device in the chain. In the kernel I have compiled: controller scbus0 #base SCSI code device sd0 #SCSI disk disk sd0 options SCSI_REPORT_GEOMETRY controller bt0 at isa? port "IO_BT0" bio irq ? vector bt_isa_intr In the fstab I have: /dev/sd0s1e /zip ufs rw,noauto 0 0 So the first time I try and mount the zip drive (using mount /zip), I get the following stuff: dirac# Jul 10 19:25:57 dirac /kernel: sd0(bt0:5:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0 Jul 10 19:25:57 dirac /kernel: sd0(bt0:5:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0 Jul 10 19:25:57 dirac /kernel: sd0(bt0:5:0): Not ready to ready transition, medium may have changed Jul 10 19:25:57 dirac /kernel: sd0(bt0:5:0): Not ready to ready transition, medium may have changed Jul 10 19:25:57 dirac /kernel: sd0(bt0:5:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB Jul 10 19:25:57 dirac /kernel: sd0(bt0:5:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB Jul 10 19:25:57 dirac /kernel: sd0 could not mode sense (4). Using fictitious geometry Jul 10 19:25:57 dirac /kernel: sd0 could not mode sense (4). Using fictitious geometry However the mount is successful after all of this stuff. Subsequent umounts and mounts work without problems. If I eject the disk, then re-insert it and try a mount I get that stuff again. Is this normal because it's removable media, or am I missing something?
