Hi,
I am in trouble.
I have x86 PC and SCSI MO disk drive. The MO causes trouble.
I did:
insert disk 'A'
mount
ls (shows contents of disk 'A')
unmount and eject disk 'A'
insert disk 'B'
mount
ls (shows contents of disk 'A')
^^^^^^^^
I can access contents of 1st (from boot) disk, but cannot 2nd disk.
I think that it is a driver problem. I report the problem to Gerard
Roudier who maintains Sym53c8xx driver. Then Roudire said:
> Low level drivers are not responsible of flushing caches when a disk is
> changed. They even haven't to know about the existence of caches in the
> kernel. This task is under the responsibility of higher layers.
So I post the behaviour to linux-scsi mailing list. Is there anyone
who can resolve the problem?
My environment is:
OS
Kernel
2.2.14
+ patch-53c8xx-s04-d00-2.2.14
(by Gerard Roudier <groudier@club-internet.fr>)
Distribution
redhat 6.1
Hardware
MO drive
Pinnacle TAHOE-230
SCSI
Tekram DC390F (Symbios 53C875)
