Answer:
I received only one reply and the person was questioning the relation
between my problem and this list. I forgot to explain that this drive
was attached to a SPARC20 running v4.1.3_U1 and was generating many SCSI
timeout errors. This situation caused my problem described above. I
guess I can say it is related to Sun administration in some way but at
some point a line needs to be drawn.
BTW, Micropolis finally replied to my phone calls and agreed to exchange
to drive for a new one. Firmware got corrupted.
