[ Please CC any replies; I am not on this list] I have two systems, each with at least two SCSI HDDs attached&mounted: SLES 9 (2.6.5-7.151-smp) Knoppix 3.9 (2.6.11.10) If I execute echo "scsi remove-single-device h b t l" > /proc/scsi/scsi on a mounted HDD target, the device will be _removed_. A subsequent echo "scsi add-single-device h b t l" > /proc/scsi/scsi on the same target will cause the device to be re-added, but it will appear at a different (next free) device file (e.g. /dev/sda will become /dev/sdc when two HDDs are attached). This behavior does not appear when running kernel 2.4-based systems on the same machines, the mounted HDDs will not be touched. I assume this is a bug? How can I prevent that behavior? Can I easily query if a device on "h b t l" is mounted to work-around?
