This can be managed by not attaching them.... Can you please add the DELL Universal Xport to the no attach list in scsi_devinfo.c ? I'm not sure how to submit a patch because I don't know which version of the kernel the patch should be against, but I know its not yet in the newest Linus kernel. I want this line added please, --- scsi-git/scsi_devinfo.c 2009-03-31 10:54:00.000000000 -0400 +++ scsi/scsi_devinfo.c 2009-06-13 10:08:46.000000000 -0400 @@ -225,6 +225,7 @@ {"SGI", "Universal Xport", "*", BLIST_NO_ULD_ATTACH}, {"IBM", "Universal Xport", "*", BLIST_NO_ULD_ATTACH}, {"SUN", "Universal Xport", "*", BLIST_NO_ULD_ATTACH}, + {"DELL", "Universal Xport", "*", BLIST_NO_ULD_ATTACH}, {"SMSC", "USB 2 HS-CF", NULL, BLIST_SPARSELUN | BLIST_INQUIRY_36}, {"SONY", "CD-ROM CDU-8001", NULL, BLIST_BORKEN}, {"SONY", "TSL", NULL, BLIST_FORCELUN}, /* DDS3 & DDS4 autoloaders */ Thank you, Thomas Witzel
