I think it's more of the matter that Mike is still changing the way the SCSI core works with the class and driver model. I suggest you take this to the linux-scsi list to hash out the way scsi should and does work in order to find the best solution for usb-storage, as I guess that it also would be the best solution for all other SCSI host drivers. > In the meantime, where should I register my class device for the > usb-storage driver? Why not hold off until the scsi people are finished with their changes? If after that, you _really_ need to be putting usb-storage only attributes in the sysfs tree somewhere, we can talk again. thanks, greg "scsi makes my head hurt" k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
