[dm-devel] [RFC] HP storageworks-like hwhandler

[Christophe Varoqui]

Hello,

I repackaged Dave Olien's scsi-start hwhandler to try to give it a wider audience.
It now compiles out-of-tree, and builds fine on RHEL4U1 kernel.

This hwhandler is targeted at a family of assymmetric arrays like HP StorageWorks and FSC FibreCat that take a START_STOP SCSI cmd as a sign of the host willing to initiate a LUN failover.

It would be good to have this code undusted and endorsed by HP ... before RHEL4U2 freezes.
Seems a good topic for the next conf call :/

You can find the tarball there :
