Bottomley" , Eddie Wai Hi, I accidentally looked at all kthreads in existence on my system and found I had: [iscsi_eh] [bnx2i_thread/0] [bnx2i_thread/1] [bnx2i_thread/2] [bnx2i_thread/3] [bnx2i_thread/4] [bnx2i_thread/5] [bnx2i_thread/6] [bnx2i_thread/7] [bnx2i_thread/8] [bnx2i_thread/9] [bnx2i_thread/10] [bnx2i_thread/11] [bnx2i_thread/12] [bnx2i_thread/13] [bnx2i_thread/14] [bnx2i_thread/15] [bnx2i_thread/16] [bnx2i_thread/17] [bnx2i_thread/18] [bnx2i_thread/19] [bnx2i_thread/20] [bnx2i_thread/21] [bnx2i_thread/22] [bnx2i_thread/23] This left me wondering why, because I most certainly am not using iSCSI. I don't even know why its enabled in my .config (and it won't be long). Please fix this muck to not create useless threads.
