Don't use -p btw., use -r. But still, you need at least one device that has been successfully probed on your SCSI bus before, in order to hook the `rescan' ioctl into the kernel (any device fits, so you could pick /dev/rsd0.ctl). NB: this used to hang your machine with various SCSI adapters in the past, but recent 2.2 (and -current) systems seem to work well with it. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
