But when I connect it via > firewire to Servant, GEOM never recognizes/creates a daX device. We have 2 enclosures at work, both made by Mapower. They have two different oxford semiconductor devices in them (a Firewire on= ly=20 one, and a Firewire/USB2 one). The Firewire only one _always_ requires that it is plugged in, removed and= =20 plugged in again before a daX device node will appear (it says New S400=20 device.. the first time around but doesn't create the daX node). The dual firewire/usb2 one works flawlessly all the time (on 4.x and 5.x) You could try a 'fwcontrol -r' and see what happens. =2D --=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBJ/wj5ZPcIHs/zowRAjJWAJ4t4no3M6INjMl909L/g5e1YdAexwCeKpxW QHk/TH/ZO7QlJAAsVIjaRCE=3D =3DCMF4 =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
