[PATCH] aacraid: add support for FUA

2007-05-18 Thread Salyzyn, Mark
Back in the beginning of last year we disabled mode page 8 and mode page 3f requests through device quirk bits instead of enhancing the driver to respond to these mode pages because there was no apparent added value. The Firmware that supports the new communication commands supports the ability to

That´s a very nice initiativ! Though I believe the most important target driver to develope is one for a PCI-Express HBA. I believe QLA24xx stands for PCI-X, doesn´t it? And the PCI-Express HBA is called QLE-something? But maybe with this driver we will come closer to a PCI-Express HBA target driv

Unfortunately, 24xx+ cards have very different interface, so add support for them is almost the same as write another driver. Not completely- but close. Feel free to grab ftp://ftp.feral.com/pub/isp/isp_dist.tgz as an example for code to add to scst. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the
