Greg, Matt & folks:

There was a tangential report from one of our users that /proc seems to get corrupt when usb-storage is rmmod-ed and inserted again.

Kernel 2.6.0-0.test2.1.29 (Arjan's -test2 based RPM).

Problem looks like this:

Quoted 10 lines

[root@laptop scsi]# pwd
/proc/scsi
[root@laptop scsi]# find
.
./usb-storage
./usb-storage/2
./usb-storage
./usb-storage/2
./device_info
./scsi

Ouch, could this be a scsi issue? I know a bunch of patches are pending to get into Linus's tree with regards to scsi reference counting and such.

thanks,

greg k-h

It is a known SCSI issue. I'm told that there are pending patches to address this.
