I compiled a 3.0 kernel for Debian with a patch from Konrad. It boots and I can load the module. I can start with testing next week when our tapeloader is available. The latest GPLPV drivers for Windows still have support for pvscsi?

I use it on a few external HP LTO2 and LTO3 drives but I''ve never used it for anything else. Let me know how it goes.

I assume it''s based on my initial pvscsi port to pvops 2.6.32 .. note that i never tested it, i just made it compile without errors :) Also it''s missing some extra patches from sles11sp1 kernel.. -- Pasi> Christian > > Am 29.10.2011 um 02:30 schrieb James Harper: > > >> > >> On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 05:52:58PM +0200, Christian Motschke wrote: > >>> Hello, > >>> > >>> does anyone knows, if and when pvscsi will be available in the official linux > >> kernel? > >>> > >> > >> Some developers are looking at it atm.. but PVSCSI needs active maintainer > >> to do the upstreaming work and maintenance. > >> > >> Are you interested? > >> > >> http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenPVSCSI > >> > > > > I build scsiback out-of-tree for 2.6.32.
