Hello Linux scsi experts, I have been searching but unable to find an answer.
I am running fedora 8 on a Dell 2950 with a qlogic fibre channel card. It is attached to a Dell/clarion AX100. I had a drive assigned to this server which had been working for approximately a year now. Recently during a power failure things turned ugly.

Rebooting didn't fix things.

I unassigned/reassigned the drive, rebooted, still no good.

Funny thing when I unassigned the drive and reboot the system. I still see /dev/sdb but no partitions and fdisk -l does not display /dev/sdb.

I even did "echo 1 > /sys/block/sdb/device/delete"
and the device no longer showed in /dev, but after a reboot it is back.

I pulled and reseated the fibre card, same.

Any thoughts on why this would still be showing up and how to get rid of it?

Huge thanks.

If this helps here is the lsscsi output.
