Ouch. Sorry. Thanks. --rohit. ---> Unfortunately, the problem also exists in 2.1.5 - Running a dd from /dev/rsd0 to /dev/null under the 2.1.5 fixit disk causes the disk to drop out the same way, though the error messages are not as drastic: the i/o errors out with an i/o error, but every other attempt to access the disk claims it is not configured. As with 2.2, after resetting following this occurance, the disk is not visible even to the Adaptec probe on boot-up. I must power-cycle. The block position where the error is triggered varies, by the way. Jaime <---
