The multiple pools of the same size "issue" can also easily be resolved by having SCSI provide a way to setup/destroy these pools. Then it can just reuse an existing pool, if it has the same size. However, I doubt that this is really a real life issue that's worth worrying about. -- Jens Axboe -- 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
