Heh, actually I *know* I'm doing the wrong thing; but I'm hoping I've got better chances of getting steered in the right direction if I start by throwing code out there. Currently this patch handles insertion/removal just fine if nothing is mounted, but gets stuck if the disk is in use. How do I get the kernel to cancel all pending requests when deregistering the device? Thanks, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng. Secret Lab Technologies Ltd.
