I noticed this too when I tried to CVSup to localhost. I don't think it has anything to do with SCSI. I think it's a networking bug in the loopback interface, exposed by CVSup's unusual traffic patterns. If you CVSup to yourhost.domain.name instead of localhost, it works fine. I've been meaning to look into this problem, but I haven't gotten around to it. Maybe Garrett will have some ideas. I've added him to the cc list. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.
