   With my weak psychic powers, all I see is a vague description of what
you see.  As usual, showing actual commands with their actual output can
be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.

   Multiple LUNs, perhaps?  An accurate, detailed description of the
SCSI hardware might also be interesting.

   Depending on what you're actually seeing, I'm with him.  Duplicate
SCSI IDs or bad cable/termination can cause this sort of thing (if I'm
guessing correctly what "this sort of thing" actually is).


   Yes, writing a useful problem report is more work than writing a
useless one, but doing that is less work than it is for a stranger to
guess what would have been in a useful one, given only a useless one.
