Bug description: 

Server Hardware
x86 Sles10 sp1 
aha29160 scsi with two Seagate 180 gig scsi drives

Pool and volume is created and mounted without issues.  When pool is deactivated, or server rebooted, pool fails to activate.  The following is the error in iManager when "activate" button is clicked.


Error:  POOL: Cannot change state for this pool. Error Number: The pool is being disabled. I/O is not allowed.


This is the output from NSS screen:

I have tried to create the pool with both drives in the same pool, or with each drive in it's own pool...get the same issue.  This hardware config has a very long history with SLES9/Sles10.  The drives work fine when used as ext3 or reiser.
