Subject: Patch from my store of obscure fixes
Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2002 16:48:34 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020809164834.A21474@devserv.devel.redhat.com> (raw)

Apparently, this patch comes from an expirience with a Clariion array
with some volumes disabled by operator. When Linux reboots, it
tries to spin them up and for some reason it times out, and
generally takes a very long time. I do suspect that START STOP UNIT
should return failure immediately, but perhaps it does not.
What do you guys think about this? Obviously a workaround, but
is it useful?
