What does blk2scsa do with SCMD's that don't have a corresponding B2S_CMD? Reservation commands could be handled in the same way (faked success). Even if you tried to write a blk2scsa-based driver for devices that support multiple initiators, you got bigger problems and B2S_CMD_RESERVE is not going to help. -Artem _______________________________________________ driver-discuss mailing list driver-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/driver-discuss
