Mounting removable scsi drives in OSX

MessageAuthor

How do you mount a removable scsi drive in OSX without restarting? Apple's Disc Utility will only see my scsi drives after a restart. It will then let me unmount and re-mount them, but if I throw another drive into a bay and key it on it doesn't see it. There is no way to re-scan the scsi bus that I've found. Atto doesn't make ExpressPro Tools for OSX. FWB doesn't make Hard Disk Toolkit for OSX. I have an Atto Dual Channel Ultra-Wide HBA (SCSI64 kit from digidesign).

Basically you can't. OS X has no ability to mount scsi drives with restarting the computer. There is a workround that involves using the Terminal. Run the Terminal and type the following:- sudo autodiskmount Then quit and restart the Finder and hey presto. Hope that helps,

Thanks Mike! I'll give it a try on Monday. I talked to Atto tech support about this and they say they will have an OSX version of ExpressPro Tools sometime this year that will re-scan the scsi bus and let you mount drives. Thanks again! Joe
