Subject: megaraid sas driver
Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2008 13:41:58 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <96296.65150.qm@web30203.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)

I am curious to ask, why were these lines omitted from
the megaraid SAS driver with kernel version 2.6.15
onwards.

In my opinion these were blocking physical disks which
were part of a RAID set on the controller from being
visible to OS. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Rakesh
