Hello Bryant,

What is the root cause of this behavior? Why is it that the behavior of
the ibmvscsi_tgt contradicts what has been implemented in the LIO core?
Sorry but the patch at the start of this thread looks to me like an
attempt to paper over the problem instead of addressing the root cause.

Thanks,

Bart.
