There is another script you can use for rescanning devices on a SCSI interface that works quite well. The output looks quite similar to that the sg_scan script does. You can find it here: http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/rescan-scsi-bus.sh Not sure if it would help at but it's worked for me adding new devices including having the dev nodes created even for devices that seemed to have magically disappeared. -- Lonny Selinger LPIC-1 -- "To mess up a Linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up your Windows box, you just need to work ON it."
