Hi Nicholas, The kernel on the target server is 3.6.3-1.fc17.x86_64 I have been playing with it trying to figure it out over the last day, including removing the target and trying to recreate it, which all ended in the same result. Here is the error message and 'sg_inq -i /dev/sdX' output for that new target.
