Quite agree. There are a lot of OEM vendors that may use for example the LSI RDAC conrtoller but the SCSI inquiry for these devices return the OEM device names. The DELL MD3000 is an example of such a box. Instead of hardcoding device tables of the handler if they could be configured using a custom configuration file enabling new hardware becomes such a bliss. -Shyam Iyer -- 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
