Where scsi_cmnd is > completed with result's status byte set to 1, Megaraid_sas is an emulation driver for the most part, so it sounds like this is in the RAID emulation firmware, correct? The driver can correct for emulation failures, if you can figure out what it's trying to signal and convert it to the correct SAM error code. There's no need to change anything in the layers above. If you can't figure out the translation and you want the transfer to error, then add DID_ERROR, which is a nice catch all. If this is transient and could be fixed by a retry, then do DID_SOFT_ERROR instead. James
