I submitted a bug on this issue, it looks like you can reference other bugs when you submit one, so everyone having this issue could possibly link mine and submit their own hardware config. It sounds like it's widespread though, so I'm not sure if that would help or hinder. I'd hate to bury the

I've experienced behavior similar this several times, each time it was a single bad drive, in this case, looking like target 0. For whatever reason, buggy Solaris/mpt driver, some of the other drives get wind of it, then hide from their respective buses in fear. :-) Operating System: SunOS
