Bug#436703: #436703: - patch broken - only 8 scsi devices?

2007-09-21 Thread Bernd Zeimetz 
Hi,

I'm documenting a discussion about this bug on #debian.de, which had the
following results:

++#define MAX_SCSI_DISKS 8

unfortunately that's broken. It's pretty easy to have way more than 8
scsi devices before the drives in your machine are initialized. You'll
have to take care of all scsi devices.


++  /sys/block/sdX/device/scsi_disk:*/manage_start_stop;

libsysfs should provide highlevel functions to access this.

It's not a problem originating in the patch. The patch just
forward-ports the concept of just treating sda..sdh. (I.e., it's already
present in the state before applying the patch.)

Improving the situation as proposed is welcomed, though.

Thanks for considering (and not deferring the fix further).

bye,
  Roland
