How are distros handling 0x6/0x3f/0x0e (report luns changed) when it gets passed to userspace? Is everyone kicking off a new full (add and delete) scan to handle this or logging it? Is the driver returning this when the LUNs change? Also is the driver getting a 0x5/0x25/0 (invalid LUN) when the LUN does not exist, or is it just getting that SRB_STATUS_INVALID_LUN error code? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
