I have an HSD scanner at the end of my SCSI chain.  Since I don't use it
all the time and it gets pretty hot, I like to turn it off when I am not
using it.  When I had Rel2.0 I did not seem to have a problem with this.
Recently I installed 2.1 and now the system will go along for a couple
of days and then suddenly fill up swap space.  It may be that this is a
problem with 2.1 which is totally unrelated to the scanner but if I
leave the scanner on swap doesn't seem to fill up.  Maybe I haven't
waited long enough.  Anyhow I would appreciate any info on this.

Something I haven't tried is to actually disconnect the scanner from the
CD drive and plug the SCSI terminator in.  That doesn't seem like a good
thing to do on a running system but maybe it is okay.
