That's a nice theory, but not so true in practice. qla2xxx will not correctly drive a 2100. I've complained about this for several years now and it still doesn't work. QLogic doesn't test the 2100 anymore. (Maybe not the 2200's either.) It's a command queuing problem. qlogicfc used to have the same problem, but over the last decade I've managed to stop it from killing itself. Command queuing to that card cannot be explained as anything but a cluster f***. The queue size is dynamic -- dependent on the exact commands queued. qlogicfc was removed from the tree once before only to be put back about 30sec later because people still use it. It's certainly not BROKEN. Not recommended, but not broken either. BROKEN is a tag for things that are _broken_ -- they don't compile and don't work when they do. qlogicfc both compiles and works, so BROKEN is the wrong thing to use. --Ricky - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
