My understanding from the discussion back then was that Boaz proposed a change to the patch which Tomo agreed to. See here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=122812818916080&w=2 However, a new version of the patch was never posted. So would a patch with the proposed change be ok for the two of you which could be posted to Jens? I really appreciate all of your efforts, thanks a lot for that :-) Have a nice weekend, Sven
