I don't know the details, but I seem to remember that each controller writes to the disk in its own way so that another controller type (different brand of SCSI controller) won't be able to read the disk or use it. Anyone remember what I am talking about? I don't remember details -- this is from a while ago that I have this memory... (Seem to remember that, for example, swapping out a symbios logic for an adaptec wouldn't work since the low level controller stuff was not compatible) best Chad To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
