Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've been wondering about the scsi redundancy problems that come up now and then (read: I've been chewing on paint chips again). What parts are failing? In my experience, only disks have failed once installed; controllers have only failed during poor installations and very rare at that. But what I was really wondering, is this about have two SCSI cards on one scsi bus. On one of my old adaptec's it _looks_ like I can change the controller from ID7 to anything else. With a controller at say 6 and 7, would there be a way in software for both controllers to access the disks? Or even for the standby controller to just scan the bus now and then? Okey, I'm going off the deep-end, back to my white-out (old-formula). --Ben Kirkpatrick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
