SDEV_EVT_* are basically dead. There's no valid user for it in the kernel. libata-scsi hasn't been converted yet - virtually SATA AN is pretty much stillborn and converting it would require a way to map ATA device to block device which isn't easy without changing SCSI. > Thing is I'm currently working on implementing proper Unit Attention > handling in the SCSI stack.

So, I think using the block layer DISK_EVENT_* would be the right way to do it, but what kind of events do you have on mind? -- tejun -- 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
