RE: [PATCH] Use a more selective error recovery strategy based on device capabilities

Each logical unit is independent and is allowed to be different.  

Examples: In a RAID controller, the direct-access block device type logical units (i.e., logical drives) are probably all the same, but storage array controller and enclosure service type logical units might be more limited.  In a tape library, sequential-access device type logical units (i.e., tape drives) might differ from a media changer logical unit.

Although the SCSI transport protocol might currently mandate everything and leave no options, that might change in the next version of the SCSI transport protocol.
