Hello, This is an updated version of the previous patch. It now leaves the default option value to N, and a note explaining that SCSI-3+ devices are not affected was added. As it only makes the options more understandable without changing the behaviour, it could be considered for 2.6.30, but I let you decide :-) Eric == I had to set CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN to y in order to get my SE W595 working when plugging it as a mass storage. Looking at SCSI option to get a phone behaving correctly was convoluted to say the least. There are quite a few other reports about USB card readers needing this option as well. This patch improves the help text to make the use of the option more obvious.
