I believe that 1394 scanners will maintain state through bus resets, as 1394 bus resets are not as disruptive as scsi bus resets (all that's really required 1394-wise is for the initiator to "reconnect" to the target). They should only lose state if actually unplugged from the bus itself. But... this is the behavior I would "expect" (have not verified this)... ;-) Cheers, --James - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
