Hello Paul , Could you add a little more info like which scsi chipset you are using & what the driver version is & what kernel version you are running also (One more )& how you have the drive chained to the scsi-bus . Someplace there is a pointer on howto reset the scsi-bus from the /proc system , BUT the method is highly not recommended . Hth , JimL
