I have tried setting different IDs and it doesn't appear to make a difference. Currently they're set to:

1001 Are those jumpers (e.g. two jumpers on last one) or bits? (e.g. 1, 4, 8 & 9)
They are bits so it is drive 1, 4, 8 and 9 (controller card is set to 7). I have also tried various other combinations of ID numbers on the drives but this does not seem to have affected the problem. I used to have it quite nicely set up before it went wrong: 0000 - /dev/st0 - DAT72 0001 - /dev/st1 - LTO1 0010 - /dev/st2 - LTO2 0011 - /dev/st3 - LTO3 That is until I decided to replace the LTO3 drive for the LTO4 now all hell has broken loose! I think I will next try physically moving the drives about in order on the scsi bus. I doubt this will help in any way as I do not see how the drives know what order they are physically connected, only their ID number set by the jumper pins. But who knows, maybe some electrical interference between drives? Or compatibility (even though they are all hp drives? Would it be a good idea to upgrade the drive firmware. They are all asking me to in LTT but I never did it because they worked fine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
