Paul, Because this issue has taken a lot of my time the past couple of days I've thought a lot about it. I'm taking a break from looking at it for the next day or two because I have a replacement external drive enclosure on its way. Over the past 20+ years I've used many external enclosures (for 3.5" and 2.5" drives), and have 5 others currently in intermittent use. None has displayed the device-flipping behavior as does this used Azio enclosure. So starting with a fresh enclosure, cable, and power supply is, in my opinion, a reasonable first step. Regarding the ssh and other issues: I had used the same master.conf and default.confs on the old desktop for at least 6 years with the 500G drive in an external enclosure. When I set it up it worked without fail running the dirvish backup script from root's crontab at 00:30 every night. While the new host is 64-bits and new hardware, the older host was 32-bits and new hardware back then but the software worked. I'll try new hardware when the enclosure arrives tomorrow and report the results.
