I know in Winbloze I can run a ASPI command to reset the SCSI bus, which I've had to do before on a similar situation with a tape drive. However, I have no ideas how to reset the bus in Linux. Knowing how Linux uses the /proc system, maybe there's a command you can fire into that? Sorry, that's all I can give you. --- Edward Dekkers (Director) Triple D Computer Services P/L -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
