I don't know whether there are any serious problems involved with this, but one thing that is definitely annoying, is that the process list fills very quickly when modules are loaded/unloaded on demand, because 2 new processes will be created every time the driver for a scsi adapter gets loaded. (I guess, this happens with all scsi host modules - in my case, the "culprit" is a qlogic fibre channel driver that gets loaded only when needed.) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. - : 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
