megaraid sas driver

megaraid sas driver

[Rakesh]

I am curious to ask, why were these lines omitted from
the megaraid SAS driver with kernel version 2.6.15
onwards.

In my opinion these were blocking physical disks which
were part of a RAID set on the controller from being
visible to OS. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Rakesh
