And I don't see my patch to block/Kconfig to make BLK_DEV_BSG be enabled by default. Is this going to be pushed for 2.6.32-rc1 when the merge window opens up? I've attached the patch, just to make sure. Let me know if I should send it in properly. Thanks! John Make Block Layer SG support v4 the default, since recent udev versions depend on this to access serial numbers and other low level info properly. This should be backported to older kernels as well, since most distros have enabled this for a long time.
