I just tracked down a SCSI problem that variously manifested as hangs, disk errors, or sometimes not at all depending on what devices were plugged/unplugged as improper termination of the last device on the narrow leg on the SCSI chain. (Interestingly, the problem had existed for several *years* but only caused problems when I plugged a wide device in.) SCSI is notorious for this kind of behavior. -- brandon s. allbery [os/2][linux][solaris][japh] allbery@kf8nh.apk.net system administrator [WAY too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering KF8NH carnegie mellon university ["better check the oblivious first" -ke6sls] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
