I have yet another question for the list. I would like to run my 7 disk
external scsi drive tower off of my dell poweredge server. The server
already has 4 internal drives on one host adapter. I can put in an
external adapter and hookup the external array and it all detects fine.
The problem that I run into is that when im in the Linux system (2.2.12),
the system will only assign the first 8 drives, that is the 4 internal
disks (sda -> sdd) and 4 of the disks on the array (sde -> sdh). There are
3 disks un accounted for. /proc/scsi/scsi lists them all. The /dev/sd
entries are there for sda -> sdp and all have the right major minor #'s.
By not assigning I mean that /dev/sdi -> sdk are not accessible and
reading the kernel messages, they are never assigned. The goal here is to
make the external array a software raid. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks again,
Jon Webb
