Hi Alan,
I'm aware of your work at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11843
I agree with fixing the unusual_devs file for USB devices that report
the wrong capacity, but this SCSI "looping on error" problem reaches
further than that. Gentoo has a bug report at
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=248698 where there is a "real"
bad sector in the middle of a disk, and this bug is affecting recovery
of said disk.
On the kernel bugzilla you posted some patches that would improve the
behaviour of 2.6.27 here. Are those patches candidates for 2.6.27.x, or
do you know if it's being fixed another way, or is it a lost cause?
I understand that 2.6.28 has been fixed through a major rework in that area.
Thanks,
Daniel
