-STATUS:
-
-o The core setup works within limits.
-o The scsi layer seems to almost work.
- I'm still chasing down the hang bug.
-o The block OSM is mostly functional
-o LAN OSM works with FDDI and Ethernet cards.
-
-TO DO:
-
-General:
-o Provide hidden address space if asked
-o Long term message flow control
-o PCI IOP's without interrupts are not supported yet
-o Push FAIL handling into the core
-o DDM control interfaces for module load etc
-o Add I2O 2.0 support (Deffered to 2.5 kernel)
-
-Block:
-o Multiple major numbers
-o Read ahead and cache handling stuff. Talk to Ingo and people
-o Power management
-o Finish Media changers
-
-SCSI:
-o Find the right way to associate drives/luns/busses
-
-Lan:
-o Performance tuning
-o Test Fibre Channel code
-
-Tape:
-o Anyone seen anything implementing this ?
- (D.S: Will attempt to do so if spare cycles permit)
