Yes, so add default and max settings instead of using the max as the default. And I still don't see how the scsi timeout can (reliably) make it through these block/unblocks. EH_RESET_TIMER doesn't freeze the scsi timeout like you really need, just restarts it. For example, with default sd timeout of 30, you could be one second into a command, block for 28 seconds, unblock, and then still timeout. -- 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
