I'd be very interested in hearing reports of whether this fixes this smartctl issue in others' environments as it has in mine. The reason I haven't proposed it as a real patch is that there's probably a better location for that code. Where I have it, it'll apply to every SCSI host using the MPT Fusion framework, and if it's a hardware bug, perhaps we want it to apply only to this specific LSI 1068 controller. That said, I expect most requests hitting the device are already well-aligned, so this wouldn't affect many requests even if it did apply to a broader-than-necessary collection of hardware. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
