And that this is st driver's failure? More like, the data length calculation can be done either A) quickly or B) thoroughly. As it turns out, I chose the quick method, which does rely upon the upper SCSI driver layers to do the right thing, because this is in the common code path and I didn't want to bear the overhead of checking the command byte against too many possible alternatives. However, as far as I recall, the driver did previously record the data transfers on tape drives (it didn't catch certain control ops, but actual reads and writes it did get). Are you sure that the performance stats stuff is turned on in the kernel config? -- Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com> http://people.redhat.com/dledford Please check my web site for aic7xxx updates/answers before e-mailing me about problems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
