>Description:
        my IBM Spitfire SCSI hard disk exhibits disappearing files on recent kernels - it
seems that the firmware has a bug, or quirk or whatever..
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
        following a hint on one of the mailing lists, I have added the following line to
the scsi_quirk_patterns array in src/sys/scsi/scsiconf.c


/*	$NetBSD: scsiconf.c,v 1.55 1996/03/21 03:29:40 scottr Exp $	*/

[...]

struct scsi_quirk_inquiry_pattern scsi_quirk_patterns[] = {

[...]

	{{T_DIRECT, T_FIXED,
	 "IBM     ", "0663L12         ", ""},     SDEV_AUTOSAVE},

[...]

};

and all is now well again.
