hi ya

when you add a new scsi disk...  you have to be careful
about its unit number

make sure your dirves are properly configured...
	- sda is in fact the lowest scsi-ID
	- sdb is in fact lowest scsi-ID +1
	- add your new disks w/ higher scsi-IDs

all should work fine 

sda, sdb, sdc is (re-)assigned in the sequence of scsi-IDs
