I agree, but that's not your problem. There is work being done on devfs and utilities to make this go away. Your problem seems to be that you are using a SCSI->ESDI converter on an old ESDI drive and it isn't acting like a real SCSI device should. It might be the LUN code; I seem to rememebr options in LINT for this. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
