Can we make 30000 another reserved value, identical in meaning to 1? This would provide a smooth upgrade path for current installations, since the existing registry entry won't be modified. The only 'regression' in this case is that if you plug in an SRP target on the fabric, it won't be automatically picked up as it would be before this change (not quite plug and play, but more plug, rescan, and play). Do we want to have a minimum interval of some sort, to prevent users from having IOC sweeps fire ever 2 milliseconds? Nice work, -Fab _______________________________________________ ofw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ofw
