I'm trying to pull together documentation of the scsi layer and link it into the index I'm trying to put up at http://kernel.org/doc, but I'm working under the handicap of never having used scsi hardware. Technically I still don't own any scsi hardware except a scanner I've never gotten to work, but the scsi layer has now eaten my ide devices, it's handling my new sata hard drive which makes sas look even more hilarious than it did in 2005, and my vague impression is that the bsg patch turns my intended-as-joke question to James at OLS (so when do ramdisks start going through the scsi layer?) into a potential reality. (Not that I pretend to understand the bsg code.) I also didn't understand the rest of your message well enough to comment on any of it (does my USB key have a LUN? The scsi layer grabbed it...) > ** As noted above "all" is an overestimate. The pass-through > only gets to map to devices that the sysfs/udev mess decides > are relevant. Don't get me started on udev. As far as I can tell, Greg KH disagrees with me on every topic I've ever raised with him... > Doug Gilbert Rob -- "One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code." - Ken Thompson. - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
