I'll try this, but it might take me a while before I report back: I get this problem only once every two weeks or so (It's hotplugged daily) > 1. echo - - - > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostN/scan OK > 2. unplug and replug the signal while leaving the drive powered up I'm assuming you mean leave the power plugged in, but yank and replug the SATA cable? Might be a bit tricky considering I'd need to open it up (the tray combines power and SATA), and it's in a remote location. Thank you for your suggestions, I'll report back on the next failure. -- Mourad -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
