Check your cabling and your card's sitting in its slot. I am thinking either the cables is suspect or the hd controller is not working properly. Hdparm your drive to see if you are having a flakey drive. So check to see if you have proper termination on that drive.

Is the SCSI controller on-board or controller card ?

Folks,
I've been digging into why I cannot see my 2nd SCSI disk when I do fdisk or bring up the yast partitioner.
I did a yask hardware info on my PC and it tells me my 2nd SCSI HD is "notready" which might be the problem.
Question is I have partitions on this drive and can copy and write and mount it. Why is it not ready and what does that mean? How do I make it ready?
Thanks,
Babu

Remove the RAID configuration and see if every drive shows up in fdisk.... On Thursday 22 September 2005 03:35, Adam Vazquez Kb2jpd Internet Mobile w/ Treo wrote:

I think the card and everything is fine. I've had the first array working for a couple of years now (logical device 0). I just added two new drives and created a new array (logical device 5) and the two drives are seen by the system. The 2nd raid array is valid. I have created windoze partitions and reiserfs partitions on it. I can mount these fine. The strange thing is fdisk -l does not find the new array, but fdisk /dev/sdb1 (or 2 etc...) returns valid data. I can destroy the new array but not the original since that is where my system is installed. Babu --- "Peter M. Groen" <pgroen@osdev.xs4all.nl> wrote:

Folks, After lots of digging through the system I solved this problem. Apparently, my new HD is /dev/sdb but the /dev/sdb node was MISSING! After creating that node now Yast and fdisk see the new drive. The susspicion I have is when I first installed the drive, it was auto detected and YasT asked me if I wanted to configure it. I said NO and the /dev/sdb node seems to have been removed/deleted. Looks like a potential bug. Babu --- "Peter M. Groen" <pgroen@osdev.xs4all.nl> wrote:

I don't know what started your problem, but I say no to that dialog box all the time. /dev/xxx is still there, so I really doubt that you have found the guilty party. Greg
