On the test with the BLIST_ATTACH_PQ3 flag on Hitachi storages, existing disks were detected as expected, However, LU#0 is also recognized like a existing disk and it is displayed as follows in /proc/scsi/scsi. Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: HITACHI Model: DISK-SUBSYSTEM Rev: 6006 Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 02 In addition, LU#0 is detected as sg0 and the real devices are assigned to sg1, sg2... <with the BLIST_ATTACH_PQ3 flag> kernel: scsi 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 31 kernel: sd 1:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0 ... <without the BLIST_ATTACH_PQ3 flag> kernel: sd 1:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 kernel: sd 1:0:0:2: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0 ... This behavior is not consistent with other disks, and it is better that noexistent disk, LU#0, is not detected. Once again, I appreciate your comments on the necessity of the BLIST_ATTACH_PQ3 flag. In addition, I added one more flag change about the DISK-SUBSYSTEM model in my patch. The DISK-SUBSYSTEM is a special model name returned when LUs are not installed. For example, when LU#0 is not installed in "OPEN-" models, LU#0 is detected as the DISK-SUBSYSTEM model. The DISK-SUBSYSTEM model also requires the BLIST_REPORTLUN2 flag. Thanks, -- Takahiro Yasui Hitachi Computer Products (America), Inc. This is scsi_devinfo flag updates for the Hitachi storages. Four models, OPEN-/DF400/DF500/DISK-SUBSYSTEM, can handle REPORT_LUN, and the BLIST_REPORTLUN2 flag needs to be set. And DF600 doesn't require any flags because it returns ANSI 03h (SPC).
