That is a tool that was used during LIO v2.x -> v3.x IOCTL -> CONFIGFS bringup and conversion, remember..? However Joel as the configfs maintainer did not want this code in mainline, and I dropped the patch from lio-core-2.6.git some time ago. If you think this is a worth-while discussion to revist perhaps you should re-create the logic, and address the issues that Joel had with the original code. --nab -- 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
