The driver here is simply reporting that the a command's timeout value had been exceeded and the mid-layer began error-recovery with a request to 'abort' the command. The abort-request completed successfully: qla2xxx 0000:06:09.0: scsi(0:0:0): Abort command issued -- 1 fa6a73 2002. I can't explain why the storage did not complete the request in the allotted time. -- av -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
