If such things change, maybe having a reference in there at all is a mistake. Maybe it should just say something like, "the numbers correspond to the entries in the scsi_device_types[] array in drivers/scsi/scsi.c" since that file is more likely to be close at hand than whichever spec we might refer to. -- steve -- 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
