Subject: why store the search type in the ieee name field?
Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 15:45:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3E482B9E.40803@mvista.com> (raw)

Folks,

I was wondering the reasoning behind the code

scsi_scan:734
        /*
         * All OK - store ID
         */
      name[0] = hex_str[id_search->id_type];

This corrupts a perfectly good IEEE unique identifier (WWN for FC 
drives).  Is there some usage for this in user space?

Thanks
-steve
