Greetings!
The scsi subsystem in 2.1R seems to disconnect devices occassionally.
My most recent episode was a CD-ROM (NEC 6xe) disappearing after umounting
a volume. Attempts to mount a new volume yield "device not configured".
I've also noticed (and grown to live with) the fact that a device
must be powered up at boot in order to be recognized. So, if my tape
isn't powered on at boot, backups are not possible :-/
Apparently, the "reprobe" options to scsi(8) are a bit buggy (?)
Is there any acceptable workaround for these problems (short of moving
to -stable or -current)?
Thanx,
--don
