Point taken regarding the aacraid driver. Dropped the VALID bit, and then did some cleanup/simplification of the set_sense procedure and the associated parameters. Mike did some preliminary tests when the VALID bit was dropped before the 'Re: [PATCH] [SCSI] sd: make error handling more robust' patches came on the scene. The change in the SCSI subsystem does make this enclosed aacraid patch unnecessary, so this aacraid patch is merely post battle ground cleanup. If the simplification is an issue, repugnant, too much for a back-port to the stable trees or clouds the point, this patch could be happily distilled down to: diff -ru a/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aachba.c b/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aachba.c --- a/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aachba.c 2008-02-06 16:26:45.834938955 -0500 +++ b/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aachba.c 2008-02-06 16:32:01.109035329 -0500 @@ -865,7 +865,7 @@ u32 residue) { - sense_buf[0] = 0xF0; /* Sense data valid, err code 70h (current error) */ + sense_buf[0] = 0x70; /* Sense data invalid, err code 70h (current error) */ sense_buf[1] = 0; /* Segment number, always zero */ if (incorrect_length) { This patch is against current scsi-misc-2.6 ObligatoryDisclaimer: Please accept my condolences regarding Outlook's handling of patch attachments.
