I have been getting tons of Buffer I/O errors on the Universal Xport devices of my DELL MD3000. This can be managed by not attaching them.... Can you please add the DELL Universal Xport to the no attach list in scsi_devinfo.c ? I'm not sure how to submit a patch because I don't know which version of the kernel the patch should be against, but I know its not yet in the newest Linus kernel. I want this line added please, --- scsi-git/scsi_devinfo.c 2009-03-31 10:54:00.000000000 -0400 +++ scsi/scsi_devinfo.c 2009-06-13 10:08:46.000000000 -0400 @@ -225,6 +225,7 @@ {"SGI", "Universal Xport", "*", BLIST_NO_ULD_ATTACH}, {"IBM", "Universal Xport", "*", BLIST_NO_ULD_ATTACH}, {"SUN", "Universal Xport", "*", BLIST_NO_ULD_ATTACH}, + {"DELL", "Universal Xport", "*", BLIST_NO_ULD_ATTACH}, {"SMSC", "USB 2 HS-CF", NULL, BLIST_SPARSELUN | BLIST_INQUIRY_36}, {"SONY", "CD-ROM CDU-8001", NULL, BLIST_BORKEN}, {"SONY", "TSL", NULL, BLIST_FORCELUN}, /* DDS3 & DDS4 autoloaders */ Thank you, Thomas Witzel -- 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
