Does anyone know why otherwise relatively sane hardware would return a
REQUEST_SENSE status in response to a MODE_SENSE command?
This is related to the sc driver I've been working on off and on for a
while. I've got a disk
sd1 at scsibus0 targ 3 lun 0: <QUANTUM, LP80S 980809404, 3.3> SCSI2 0/direct fixed
that works fine when put on the si. I've also got an sc driver that
works well enough to use another disk
sd3 at scsibus1 targ 6 lun 0: <RODIME, RO3000S, 2.40> SCSI1 0/direct fixed
just fine. But when I put the Quantum on the sc, then I get a
REQUEST_SENSE status in response to a command (not surprising), but
then when the driver issues the MODE_SENSE command, it gets
REQUEST_SENSE status from it (very surprising)!
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here? No single piece
of the system is blatantly broken - each piece of hardware and software
works fine when used slightly differently - but this combination (the
Quantum disk on the sc with my driver) loses 100% of the time.
