Yes, I didn't read the mailing list, only the SBP2 page. I did, now, read the thread "initial bus scan gone" and YOU refer this as a known bug, not as a normal feature.
I may be lucky, but I never had a Ooops. You're right on one point: I ALWAYS unload/reload the sbp2 driver. I do this on a PC about once a day and had an 30 days uptime. I don't do it on the Mac because it's a laptop and I usually keep the disk mounted until I stop it. I know that echo to /proc/scsi/scsi is needed for device REMOVAL, but, as I said before, I NEVER needed it for device's insertion.
I use sbp2 devices every day for monthes, but never tried to know how it worked since it was working well for me, so please don't tell me I never used it...
Sorry to have talked to you, making you so angry, won't disturb you again.
Time to close this thread, now.
