I was kind of hoping that it was just a more reliable case of the corruption that Andrew had been seeing too (which seems to be hard to trigger in mainline too, but might exist there). > So now the big question is; what part(s) of git-scsi-misc is broken? Well, its origin is actually a git tree, so you could try the "git bisect" approach using the git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi-misc-2.6.git tree that the patch comes from..
