In regard to: Re: [Networker] Red Hat kernel version , Dag Nygren said (at...:

Based on my reading of the two options, it seems like just the
"max_scsi_luns=256" might be enough to get non-0 lun probing working even
when CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN is not set in the kernel, but you obviously
know more about this than I do, so I'm guessing there's something I'm
missing.

Thanks again for sending this, it's been very useful.

Sorry for confusing you, just copy/pasted from one of my customer's
/etc/modules.conf. And the ghost-part just slipped in.

Yes, that part was added for multipathing and what you really need
is only the max_scsi_luns=256. You might not even need 256, but it will
not hurt too much. And 256 is what CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN puts in
there.

Thanks again Dag!

This is a very useful bit of information you've provided, and it's
much appreciated.
