An excellent suggestion. I am sending v2 of my patchset which now contains this 'node.sessions.nr_sessions' feature as well, implemented as you suggested. This v2 patchset also rebases the changes to the current git HEAD, and fixes a segfault I found in my first set of changes. -- Jim Ramsay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
