Followup for the archives. With the help of several it turns out to be
termination (surprise!!! <G>). I've used non-RAID SCSI for years and have
always been paranoid about terminating. However, this system was set up
for me by someone that I assumed (yes, I know <G>) knew RAID better than I
did. The drives are in caddies that are hot swappable and the drive ID is
assigned by the caddy frame. Consequently the installer did not put any
jumpers on the drives and did not terminate the last drive.
Thanks all.

Termination, Cabling and/or Drive Firmware Incompatibilities. Good idea
to get your TSID ready, list of components and their firmware versions
and call Adaptec Support and work through the discovery cookbook.

Subject: Adaptec 3210S Problems
I'm running a Linux system with a Adaptec 3210S controller. Right now
the
system has nothing on it and I have not created any RAID. I've notice
that when I boot into the Adaptec CD and watch the drives they keep
getting flagged as missing. If I do a "Read system config" the drives
show up and the flag goes away. A few minutes later they are flagged as
missing again. This is a little discouraging as it appears I have a
problem. Any ideas on what is happening - why do my drives keep getting
flagged as missing? I need to find out before I install Linux!
Thanks.
