Hi Bart! Sorry this took so long. I have made several attempts at automatically retrying commands originating from within SCSI since the lack of retries is a general problem. However, in the end I prefer the approach of describing the specific conditions we want handled using scsi_failure at each call site. Works well. > The SCSI core does not retry passthrough commands even if the SCSI > device reports a retryable unit attention condition. Support retrying > in this case by introducing the SCMD_RETRY_PASSTHROUGH flag. FWIW, I find the use of "passthrough" to describe commands issued by the SCSI layer quite confusing. -- Martin K.
