The fundamental problem is more basic than that - I'm getting SCSI  
sense errors...

[root at www4 ~]$ mtx -f /dev/sg5 inventory
[root at www4 ~]$ mtx -f /dev/sg5 status
mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes
mtx: Request Sense: Valid Residual=no
mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=70 (Current)
mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=Illegal Request
mtx: Request Sense: FileMark=no
mtx: Request Sense: EOM=no
mtx: Request Sense: ILI=no
mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Code = 20
mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Qualifier = 00
mtx: Request Sense: BPV=no
mtx: Request Sense: Error in CDB=no
mtx: Request Sense: SKSV=no
READ ELEMENT STATUS Command Failed

even with the newest code:

[root at www4 mtx-1.3.8]$ ./mtx -f /dev/sg5 inventory
mtx:inventory failed
[root at www4 mtx-1.3.8]$ ./mtx -f /dev/sg5 status
mtx: Request Sense: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00  
94 10 00 00
READ ELEMENT STATUS Command Failed

I think it needs the other LUN (1) on /dev/sg5 to be registered  
before it'll work...

Thanks, though :-)

ATB,
