Is someone still working on the sense buffer handling code for bios to be used by dm-mp? The ifdef'd out code in dm-emc.c and dm_scsi_err_handler appears to only allow the interpretation of sense data if available and does not provide any detail on non-sense based failures (DRIVER_TIMEOUT vs DID_* status). An old patch that Mike Christie submitted was a start at mapping errors to BLK error flags but did not receive much feedback. Is there some reason to not decode down at the lower levels with a possible interface for vendor specific mapping? Old post can be found here. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107961883914541&w=2 The reason I am asking the question is I am looking into issues of a single device mapper hardware handler supporting block devices exported by a DASD driver or through the SCSI subsystem. -andmike -- Michael Anderson andmike@xxxxxxxxxx
