After starting the server all devices for the tape are not created
/dev/st0.............
There was a time that I could modprobe i2o_block after starting and then
after a time he started creating the devices, as if he was sleeping, the
scsi controller.
Is there a way to remove the modules for the second part of the
controller and then manually modprobe then after starting?
I mean the controller has 2 parts, one for the RAID5 and one for the
tape driver(or whatever)
Somehow I have the impression that the moduls necessary for the second
part of the controller are loaded to quickly, not giving the controller
the time to get ready.
Thanks for any help, because my client does not have any backup anymore.
