Here's udevinfo output from a machine using the dpt_i2o driver - looks like, at least in this instance, it is not registered as removable.

But since I'm having great problems with dpt_i2o myself (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=404589), which I don't expect to be solved soon, I'm planning to solve the problems by kicking the Adaptec RAID controller shortly. So if you need further assistance, please hurry up! Here are the infos you requested: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ s1:~# udevinfo -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sda` Udevinfo starts with the device specified by the devpath and then walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format. A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device and the attributes from one single parent device. looking at device '/block/sda': KERNEL=="sda" SUBSYSTEM=="block" DRIVER=="" ATTR{stat}==" 3471893 1299989 277298250 47108676 726504 904008 13047032 15321480 0 22867760 62431048" ATTR{size}=="156301312" ATTR{removable}=="0" ATTR{range}=="16" ATTR{dev}=="8:0" looking at parent device '/devices/platform/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0': KERNELS=="0:0:0:0" SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi" DRIVERS=="sd" ATTRS{ioerr_cnt}=="0x0" ATTRS{iodone_cnt}=="0x40100d" ATTRS{iorequest_cnt}=="0x40100d" ATTRS{iocounterbits}=="32" ATTRS{timeout}=="30" ATTRS{state}=="running" ATTRS{rev}=="3A0L" ATTRS{model}=="RAID-1 " ATTRS{vendor}=="ADAPTEC " ATTRS{scsi_level}=="3" ATTRS{type}=="0" ATTRS{queue_type}=="simple" ATTRS{queue_depth}=="254" ATTRS{device_blocked}=="0" looking at parent device '/devices/platform/host0/target0:0:0': KERNELS=="target0:0:0" SUBSYSTEMS=="" DRIVERS=="" looking at parent device '/devices/platform/host0': KERNELS=="host0" SUBSYSTEMS=="" DRIVERS=="" looking at parent device '/devices/platform': KERNELS=="platform" SUBSYSTEMS=="" DRIVERS=="" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ s1:~# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.18-3-k7 (Debian 2.6.18-8~bpo.1) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)) #1 SMP Thu Dec 14 20:27:48 CET 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cu, Robo :) ----- End forwarded message ----- -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
