Thank for that. I got the following.
server1:/tmp# dmesg | grep -i sd server1:/tmp# dmesg | grep -i scsi server1:/tmp# ls -l /dev/disk/by-path total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-11-08 07:33 pci-0000:00:0f.1-ide-0:0 -> ../../hda server1:/tmp# Now I have been doing a little more research into this. It seems I have the Tachyon HPFC-5000 PCI card. Current information tells me that support for this card stopped after either kernel 2.4 or 2.2 Looks like I may have to roll my entire install back to a really old version of deb or simply install RHEL5 or earlier. Something I wasn't planning on, especially since the latest version of deb seems to be the only linux distro that installs and runs properly on my old compaq servers. On that basis I moved all my servers to deb (from windowz or FC). This is the only server with Fibre. I am currently exploring the possibility of changing the card. The arrays attached to the cards are old series 4100 boxes. If anyone has any comments or thoughts I would love to here them. Regards Fred -----Original Message----- From: "Douglas A.
