Hi, just to clarify, I have 6 SCSI controllers and 29 disks across them.
I know all about SCSI, it's the linux side I was confused about. I have
installed SCSI tools now and that has fixed 99% of my problems. I can't seem
to run pvcreate on the 29th disk, so I can run fdisk on it and mkfs it, but
pvcreate bitches about the device not existing. In /dev/scsi I have the
device and it's a shambolic link to /dev/sdad, but it don't work in LVM.
