I think that you can remove "such as" if you add SRP and SSA. "for SCSI transports such as Fibre Channel, FireWire, SAS, iSCSI, SRP, or SSA" should be fine. But I'm not sure that scsi-ml has a SSA hba driver. If not, we could remove SSA. > We could also write "such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI, SAS, and more," if > you suspect bias on my side. ;-) Help texts should be concise. > -- > Stefan Richter > -=====-=-=== =--= -==== > http://arcgraph.de/sr/
