While this patch does seem to solve the problem of transferring an odd number of bytes to the device, I recently received a bug report saying that we don't accept an odd number of bytes transferred from a device. It seems to me that it's going to require modifying the scsi scripts in order to do this. Do you agree? Have you looked into transfers in the opposite direction as part of this work? -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain - : 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
