Regards,

We're having trouble with our AlphaStation 600 5/266. It just won't accept
the Seagate 43400N attached to the narrow SCSI port at the back. When we
first attached the disk it took about 45 secs before it showed up with 'sho
dev', but labeling the disk went apparently OK. I say apparently because in
the logs there were some alarming messages telling

I was able to create a LSM volume containing a partition from the systemdisk
(rz0) and a partition on the failing disk (rz1). On top of that volume I
created an AdvFS. I was able to mount the AdvFS and everything seemed OK
until yesterday when we had to reboot. I am now unable to mount the AdvFS,
getting messages like


domain#fileset on /mount/point: Bad file number

I recently saw a posting where someone claimed the ISP1020 Qlogic controller
was broken on the 600 5/266. What about the truth contents in this rumour ?
Any other ideas, anyone???
