Hi there, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I rejoin the list after 5-6 years. Was able to fix most of the things myself |
| 4 |
but this one has me totally bowled over. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I have an IDE disk enclosure (can house 2 disks per IDE channel, a total of |
| 7 |
4 currently plugged in) which makes IDE disks available to the main computer |
| 8 |
via 2x USB 2.0 connection (One USB 2.0 port connected to IDE adapter). |
| 9 |
The problem I have is that the computer is able to see only 1 IDE disk per |
| 10 |
channel. At a time, as a result, my server can only see 2 disks instead of 4 |
| 11 |
connected, one disk per channel only. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I have tried all possible combinations of jumpers (master/slave, |
| 14 |
cable-select, force-slave-present) for each pair. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Interestingly - Windows XP / YetAnotherReiserFS GUI is able to see/read all |
| 17 |
4 (2 pairs) disks so I think it is something that needs fixing in Linux |
| 18 |
kernel/drivers and the enclosure box is not the source of problem. |
| 19 |
I confirm individual disks are fine as well. |
| 20 |
I am currently running Linux 2.6.27-gentoo-r8. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Has anyone else encountered this problem before ? /proc/config.gz is also |
| 23 |
attached. |

Thanks in advance, |
