Hi all,
=20
currently, i seriously worry about a strange scsi-error after updating =
from SuSE 4.41 to=20
5.1, with an adaptec 2940uw-controller with 2 ibm-hd's (1 wide, 1 =
narrow),
cd-rom, streamer.=20

Fortunately without any dataloss up to now (i hope). But i would feel
much better without those command abortions all the time :-).
