Ick, so when the device is gone, where does the SCSI host go? Is it still represented in sysfs and in the SCSI core properly? > But, while the device is gone, you've created an association between a SCSI > node that exists and a non-existant USB device.

I'm guessing that you re-establish this association, right? Then you might have to add this same call to whereever that is done. > Something like this would proabably make sense if the hot-unplugging code > for SCSI hosts was really stable -- then we could unregister the host when > the device went away, and this relation would be disconnected > automatically. Well, push back on the SCSI people to fix this then, hot-unplug should work properly on the SCSI layer too :) thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Thawte.com Understand how to protect your customers personal information by implementing SSL on your Apache Web Server.
