Since Patrick has already provided the mechanics for this, I suggest we do this by setting the skip_ms_page_3f and skip_ms_page_8 globally in the usb-storage slave configure routines. If there are known good devices, it would probably be best to add them to the USB special devices list to have these flags reset for the capabilities. The nice thing about this approach is that I don't have to do anything in SCSI, and the control of the USB black/white list is entirely in the USB subsystem. Does this sound like a plan? James
