I agree with Bhanu on these concerns, even though I hope everyone's using fcoeadm/fcoemon/fipvlan. I think there needs to be more of a transition plan than requiring everyone moving to a new kernel to update the user-space tools at the same time. Removing the module parameters with the last patch might be rushed, they should probably remain for a few kernel cycles with a warning. When the tools are updated for the new interface, they should probably maintain fallback support for the module parameters for a while as well. - Chris _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@open-fcoe.org https://lists.open-fcoe.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
