SCSI does as well, it's the APTPL flag. However reservations not persistent through a power loss are basically useless, so I decided to force them on in the API. From the documentation: "All implementations are expected to ensure the reservations survive a power loss" So I would prefer not to add it, or if we really have to as a negative flag to specifically opt out of the APTPL behavior. > with it.

This sounds like a sensible addition to me, and I wouldn't be surprised if future SPC versions will add this flag. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
