Ed - Looks good, I ran some simple tests (no EMC hardware here though). Greg or Kay, can you please apply Ed's patch? Note that this requires explicit usage of '-p pre-spc3-83' for EMC Symmetrix devices or addition to the scsi_id.config file for this to be of any real use. udev rules could handle this, but multipathd will also need to set the option. -- 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
