Hi Mark: But when the initiator is FreeBSD, it works pretty fine... I am not sure what is happening? I am sorry that I have something in my post... I am using Windows 2003 on initiator, not 2000. This still happens to me, even I used Adaptec 39320 card. Rescanning is not working... Best regards, Jerry Lee Senior Engineer Broadband & Storage Wistron Corp.

( I can't grab the log because it's not logged in messages) My recent work was on a different setup (Linux initiator) but I found that when _anything_ changed (including the SCSI target emulator exiting or dying) I had to rescan on the initiator or else things would crash soon. Try rescanning the initiator after the emulator shuts down, before restarting it. And then you have to debug the target emulator. It took me a while to figure out how the confounded thing works. The key is the queues on which the transaction structs (I don't have it in front of me and do not recall their names, but there is one kind for ATIOs and one for CTIOs) are placed. They start out on one fixed queue, and are placed on another (different for ATIO and CTIO) when the struct is sent to the SCSI target layer via the write(2) on targN. When they are returned with work to do, the CTIOs are placed on queues linked to the ATIOs while the async read or write is underway. Side note in case you haven't been watching VERY closely: /dev/targ0, /dev/targ1, etc., are created WHEN YOU OPEN THEM in FreeBSD5.x; if they exist you can't open them because something else has the file open! Hope this helps. I'm curious about this one; I may have to play target to a MicroSoft initiator one of these days. Seems lots of people are making SCSI targets of themselves these days.
