I had a similar patch, that did not leave LUN 0 configured: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=110297733824960&w=2 It did not change handling of PQ. I don't have a strong opinion for either direction, but having LUN 0 with and sometimes without an sd there bothers me. Pick your poison ... Long term, a way to access any LUN on a target from user space would be very useful, not just LUN 0.

For SCSI_SCAN_TARGET_IGNORED, we are not configuring the LUN. i.e. keep the original: #define SCSI_SCAN_NO_RESPONSE 0 #define SCSI_SCAN_TARGET_PRESENT 1 #define SCSI_SCAN_LUN_PRESENT 2 Or: #define SCSI_SCAN_NO_RESPONSE 0 #define SCSI_SCAN_LUN_IGNORED 1 #define SCSI_SCAN_LUN_PRESENT 2 You should add code to not print the "unknown device type" if PQ 3 or 1, or special case type 31 (0x1f). SCSI spec says for PQ of 011 (3): The device server is not capable of supporting a peripheral device on this logical unit. For this peripheral qualifier the peripheral device type shall be set to 1Fh to provide compatibility with previous versions of SCSI. We see the warnings now even for PQ of 1 (I don't know the age of these devices): scsi: unknown device type 31 Vendor: IBM Model: 5703001 Rev: 0150 Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 00 For PQ of 3 there should be a lot more. -- Patrick Mansfield - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
