Bill, command_retry_count is not part of upstream driver. command_retry_count experimental support of mpt2sas driver. What exactly is your need ? Normally retries should happened out of LLD(mpt2sas). It must be handled at scsi midlayer. So you have to trust midlayer instead of LLD. --Kashyap > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-scsi-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-scsi- > owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bill.Hooper@xxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 5:58 AM > To: linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Bill.Hooper@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Controlling mpt2sas busy retries > > I would like to control the number of times the mpt2sas driver retries > a command on BUSY (I want to reduce the retry to zero or one).
