We plan to fix the ibmvscsis driver as well, but it will take a while for that fix to propagate. Until very recently, the status field was not checked, which is why we are only recently running into this problem. -Brian -- Brian King Linux on Power Virtualization IBM Linux Technology Center -- 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
