The system thinks the drive is OK, so waits for it. But the drive is not OK, so there you are. Ergo, you ssh in. Your password is accepted. ssh writes to the disk who is logged in, etc. The drive says "OK, let me write it to the platters. Please wait a sec.." So the system waits for the confirmation. And waits. And waits... The other drive says "I'm good." and the bus says "Hold on, the other disk has asked us to wait..." It's a little more complex than that, but you get the idea. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com Real Users never use the Help key. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
