I don't think this should be done. It probably makes the default timeout way too short. The error recovery with tapes takes a long time. The user can change the timeout if the default (900 seconds) seems too long (or short). I don't think there is anything in the midlevel or low-level code to set the timeout based on the device characteristics. This is left to the ULD. -- Kai - 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
