Eric, I have seen various reports concerning SAS HBAs taking "forever" to initialize/discover (various HBA manufacturers, various OSes). Perhaps you could enlighten me why these timeouts need to be so large. Also if a SAS domain does not contain a fanout expander, doesn't that limit the domain to around 128 or 256 SCSI devices (sum of scsi initiator and target ports)? If so, perhaps the timeout could be one of two values, a larger value if a fanout expander was found in the most recent discover process.
