Then you must be doing something wrong. I just tried changing sg_tablesize in the usb-storage driver, and as a result the scatterlists it received contained only one element. (Of course, in usb-storage what matters is not the value in the scsi_host_template but rather the value returned by usb_stor_sg_tablesize.) > > Just out of curiosity, why are you writing a class driver for the BOT > > class?

This is nowhere related to Mass Storage BOT transfers. Then why did you mention BOT in the email Subject: line? Does it refer to something other than Bulk-Only-Transport?
