But thought if there was a way for some exposure, so to give James some confidence in the code before he commits to it. But this way it could be perfect, thanks. Stephen Hi I have just that branch ready it is: git://git.open-osd.org/linux-open-osd.git osd Note the "osd" branch. Do I need to call it something special like "linux-next"? (Give me 24 hours to fix all current comments) Also one more question. This tree is based on latest scsi-misc-2.6.git, Because it is destined to go threw James tree at the end. Do I need to prepare a special tree based on Linus-latest? Thanks in advance Boaz
