Hi,
I have purchased (well work has :) a 3.5" HD firewire enclosure, and I
am attempting to get it to work with the -stable firewire code (It's my
understanding that 4.x and 5.x code is pretty identical).

It DOES work - when I plug it in it's detected and probed. I could
fdisk/disklabel/newfs the drive and mount it. It even goes pretty fast
:)

Unfortunately when I disconnect it the firewire half seems to notice,
but it doesn't notify the SCSI layer :(

If I try a 'camcontrol rescan' it hangs in cbwait (not sure how long,
but I left it for >30 minutes with no change). If I reinsert the drive I
get a panic 'malloc(W_WAITOK) in interrupt context'.

I am tried 'camcontrol stop da0' before disconnecting but no joy there.
A friend of mine with an iPod suggested 'camcontrol eject' but that
command doesn't appear to be supported - I get the following ->
chowder# camcontrol eject 0:0:0
Error received from stop unit command

Here is part of my dmesg ->

The machine in question is a Dell Inspiron 8000. I am about to try it in
another system (when the RAM arrives :)
