This is the output when connected as master on the second cable:

Also as master on the second cable, it should show up as /dev/hdc, which you can verify with cat /proc/ide/hdc/model
This is what I get:
[root@unit0 tempesta]# cat /proc/ide/hdc/model
IBM-DARA-206000
which should print the hdd model.
But if i do "fdisk /dev/hdc" it says:
[root@unit0 tempesta]# fdisk /dev/hdc
No es pot obrir /dev/hdc
Which in catalan means that it can't open /dev/hdc
The adapter I use has some jumpers but I don't know where the problem is, it
came with no instructions :-?
Is seems as it recognizes it but I can't access /dev/hdc. Any idea?
Thank you very much in advance!
