Hello Rich,

Thanks a lot. If you need someone for testing, just ask me. 

AFAIR Joerg removed the direct SCSI support in SFS! So it might be good to try 
with SmartFilesystem 1.84 that was still John Hendrikx. I will try. 

Since that should still be compatible with SFS 1.227 I can update later on.

Anyone good a real RDB hardfile to work? These either don't work on my Linux 
setup? Anyone got a real RDB hardfile to work under Linux Kernel 2.6 (do not 
know if it make a big difference).
