I apologize in advance for posting this to stable, but I have not been
able to get an answer so far.  I figured the brightest and best would
be able to help ;-)

I have a problem with a ST39140W Seagate SCSI drive. I have two of these
attached to a BT-958 Mylex adapter on a machine running 3.4-stable  and
after a power outage one of them wouldn't come back up.  The only way I
can get the machine to boot into multi user mode is to comment out the
entry for "/dev/da1s1e" in /etc/fstab.  

This is a dedicated drive with only one slice mounted as /bak.  This was
the default slice configuration used by /stand/sysinstall during the
initial 3.2-stable snapshot installation about a year ago.  I have been
rebuilding the system from source on a regular basis ever since, and with
no problems.

Since the power glitch I can talk to the drive via camcontroll. I did a
fsck /dev/da1 and am now able to "mount /dev/da1 /bak" with no problem.  I
can't however "mount /dev/da1s1e /bak"  I get a device not configured
error.

I have also remade the device through MAKEDEV. I know the drive is working
because when mounted as "/dev/da1 /bak" I am able to do backup operations
with now problem.  Another strange point is that /stand/sysinstall sees
the drive as da1 but when you try to look at the slice information nothing
is there.

My question is what about the power glitch has corrupted the mounting of
/dev/da1s1e?

Any ideas would be appreciated,

Jim
