I have a server running Redhat 2.4.21. It has 4 internal SCSI hard drives.
We've purchased 3 external SCSI hard drives along with an Adaptec 39320 card
(64-bit Ultra320 SCSI card) for connection. The system detects the card and
displays the three drives during the initial boot up messages. I can also
see the drives in setup under the 'Boot' tab. But when the system finally
comes up and I login I don't know how to access them in order to label and
then mount them. The 4 internal drives are /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc/ and
/dev/sdd. As I understand sda - sdp are the names of any SCSI drives. I can
see /dev/sda, sdb, sdc and sdd with fdisk but when I try to look at sde
through sdp I get the message "Unable to open /dev/sde", or sdf, etc.
My question: how do I access these external drives?
Check the output of dmesg. Somewhere in there it should tell you which ones are which, then it should enumerate the partitions of each drive (if they exist) as part of that.
