I just added some new drives to my system. I now have 8 drives a zip
and a jaz. The zip and jaz are on a separate controller so cable length
shouldn't be an issue. e-h are in a case together. I can fdisk a-g, but
h-j can't be opened. Originally there was no sdh* sdi* or sdj*. I created
them, couldn't access them, rebooted and still couldn't access them.

Here's sdg and sdh: (g works, h doesn't)

Anyone have any ideas?
