And it works well. The only point left addressing is that you never know how long you=20 should be waiting. It would be nice if the transport class / SCSI ML=20 could give some hint somewhere to the effect 'scanning in progress'. Otherwise you'll end up using arbitrary timeouts and you'll always find=20 machines where this timeout doesn't work :-( Cheers, Hannes --=20 Dr. Hannes Reinecke hare@suse.de SuSE Linux Products GmbH S390 & zSeries Maxfeldstra=DFe 5 +49 911 74053 688 90409 N=FCrnberg http://www.suse.de Using Tomcat but need to do more?
