James,

Any reason the other sg patch I submitted didn't get pushed?

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=113753907627483&w=2

I was hoping to see this one go into the rc fixes, since without it ipr's RAID configuration tools do not work.

Thanks,

Brian

Er ... I didn't notice it go by and no-one told me?

In theory, it only affects the sg path, the path via the ULD device node should already be fixed, so any management tool could use the sd (or st or sr) node instead ... you probably want to do that anyway to avoid mapping issues between the sg and sd nodes.

James

I already use the sd node when I can in ipr's RAID management tool, but for physical disks in RAID arrays and for the RAID adapter itself, only sg gets attached, so I have to use sg.
