[PATCH 03/18] scsi_dh_alua: Disable ALUA handling for non-disk devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Non-disk devices might support ALUA, but the firmware
implementation is untested and frequently broken.
As we're don't actually need it disable ALUA support
for non-disk device for now.
