Randy, thanks for responding to Leonid's questions.

Leonid,

The US Gov customers are anxious to learn if we are making progress
understanding the cause(s) of this bug.

Do you have access to suitable hardware and software in the Mellanox
facilities where you are - (Yokneam)? To duplicate this bug and run further
tests to diagnose the root causes?

Bill.

Hi Randy,

Thank you for the reply. 
A bit more questions:
Does it fail with ModeFlags=0 (a default value) ? 

        A) Yes, it fails with settings of 0,1 and 3

What SW run on the target side ?

        A) We are running a target driver DDN version 3.08

What kind of device is that appliance (from SRP point of view) ?

        A) Dumb block device (RAID controller with 8 luns).

Does data transfer work in raw mode (without formatting) ?

        A) Yes, we setup a CXFS client running windows and it reads and
writes until your heart is content!

(you can check that with Iometer)
TIA

Leonid
