Re: how to slave scsi drives?
If you are to boot from this drive, your BIOS must be enabled on the SCSI controller. To set the ID on a barracuda (newer ones, anyway), there are two sets of ID jumpers. If facing the drive from the back, you have pins like so: === :: /\ 8421 (where is SCSI connector, ::: are pins, and /\ is power connector) On the front, with drive upright, facing front: [ ]:: 8421 (where is circuit board, [ ] is a block, and ::: are pins) Put jumpers on the proper pins to total whatever SCSI ID you need. Your lower drives under Linux are the lowest SCSI ID, ie: in a system with a HDD on ID 0, a CDROM on ID 3, and another HDD on ID 5, ID 0= /dev/sda, ID 5=/dev/sdb. If another is added on ID 1, for example, ID 5 gets bumped to /dev/sdc, and ID 1 becomes /dev/sdb. There is no master/slave combination in SCSI. In IDE, the controller on the master drive addresses the slave drive, in SCSI the SCSI interface card addresses all drives by ID. -- Kevin Blackham 801-539-0852 Senior Tech, XMission Internet 877-XMISSION [EMAIL PROTECTED]877-964-7746 http://www.xmission.com/help On Tue, May 02, 2000 at 01:17:37AM +0800, Erik Peter P.

RE: how to slave scsi drives?
Hello Sanjeev, I might be wrong, I am not sure about the modern controllers (I am used to old ways :)) ), but not long ago if the controller did not found hard disc on ID "0" or "1" it simply did not load the BIOS and the system could not boot :)).

.forward/mailspool question
hello everyone, i created a user called "info" in our mailserver and its ~/.forward contains the following : === start === "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #info" [EMAIL PROTECTED] = end that is, everytime someone sends an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], they get an auto-response done thru procmail and at the same time, that email is automatically forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] its working fine but : my problem is, the emails received by info@ are also at the same time kept in /var/spool/mail/info ... anyone have any suggestions what should i do so that those emails wont be stored in info's mailspool but just automatically forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? thanks, chad

RE: how to slave scsi drives?
Hello Eric, You do not "slave" the SCSI drives. Your controller looks for SCSI ID "0" or "1" and boots from either of them. You can togle between those two ID's if you have two drives.

Re: how to slave scsi drives?
Erik, See http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/scsi/st34520lw.html for jumper settings, et al, on the ST34520LW disc. If the disc is not visible even after changing the SCSI-ID, I recommend you try, in the following order: I assume the chain runs like this CARD --BARRACUDA --34520 Is the Baracudda terminated? If yes, don't. The 34520 should be terminated. Are they on the same cable? Try changing the cable (Most common cause of SCSI problems*) BTW, Seagate has one of the best support areas on the web. Note *: Most people know that the SCSI Bus must be terminated on full moon nights, in goat's blood. What they fail to realize is that must be a seventh son of a seventh son. That's all it takes to SCSI well. - Original Message - From: Erik Peter P.

Re: how to slave scsi drives?
If I where you, I would try get some jumper-info for the Barracuda disk.

how to slave scsi drives?
Hello All, I'm trying to migrate my current system on ST34520LW (Seagate) on to a Barracuda that I don't know how to slave. I don't have this problem with IDE hardisks because toggling the drive status from slave to master is done simply by transferring a single jumper. On my Barracuda, I see some pins in the front that would accomodate a fairly small jumper and a large jumper at the back (J6?) that covers 8 pins. I tried toggling it to change the SCSI-ID but the AHA-2940UW BIOS only detects one drive (and the HDA itself) and still can't detect the Barracuda. Some input will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Erik Peter P. Abella
