It would probably be better to preserve application client behaviour and simulate/emulate n-th INQUIRY, after the 1st for such broken device firmwares that break on any subsequent INQUIRY. Possibly in the LLDD or via blacklisting in the mid-layer. Luben -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
