I have had several responses indicating that no-one else has this problem. I have gone back to square 1 again, souped up the SCSI card to do wide again and everything seems OK. Maybe I did do a "newfs /dev/sd1?" instead of using the raw device (/dev/rsd1?) Wayne PS I will go back to the bunker. ---------------------- Forwarded by Wayne Farmer/CORPHQ on 10/07/97 14:00 --------------------------- owner-freebsd-scsi#064#FreeBSD.ORG - SMTPGATE@WT400 on 10/07/97 10:33:30 To: freebsd-scsi#064#FreeBSD.ORG - SMTPGATE@WT400 cc: Subject: Adaptec 2940UW hang with multiple Wide SCSI Disks - FreeBSD 2.2.2 I think I read recently that doing a "newfs" on a wide SCSI disk with an Adaptec 2940UW hangs the system (a deadlock ?) I can concur with this and confirm that turning off wide negotiation in the SCSI setup seems to correct this. 3 questions : 1) Does anyone have any more info on this 2) Is there updated driver code I can include in the kernel build 3) Having "newfs"-ed, would turning back on wide negotiation lead to more problems similar to the "newfs" problem Thanks Wayne
