It's easy to suggest a sysfs attribute. What you've failed to do is suggest the pathname of the sysfs attribute, the contents of it, or the semantics of it (read-only? read-write? write-only? blocking?) My personal favourite would be to add a new verb to /proc/scsi/scsi, but James dislikes that idea. I'd *really* like to hear from distro people. What is the most convenient way for you to implement "load all the scsi modules, then wait until all devices are found"? James and I had thought that loading a new module would be the easiest way for you, but it seems inconvenient for you. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
