More than 5 SCSI disks? (/dev/sdf: ENXIO)
Hello.
There are 5 SCSI disks happily running at sda - sde. The 6th
disk is accepted as /dev/sdf, as the kernel output after lilo
says. But fdisk /dev/sdf fails with "Unable to open /dev/sdf".
strace fdisk /dev/sdf gives
open("/dev/sdf", O_RDWR) = -1 ENXIO (Device not configured)
open("/dev/sdf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENXIO (Device not configured)
What is missing here? Other details follow, thank you.
