driver, I was unable to debug the Iometer hang because it only manifested with
the free build driver binary. Does anyone know how to configure the build

some basic tests like disk formats, SCSICompliance, SDStress and IOMeter.
They're all working fine except IOMeter, which I configured as 4Kbyte,
sequential writes. IOMeter stops right after hitting "Start Tests" (green flag).
Do you see the problem when you tested it?</SPAN><SPAN

appears the Sandisk patch for Mode Sense is taking longer than expected. In
order to keep things moving along with the OFA driver, I’m going to take the
Sandisk patch offline for now until they can resolve their issues. Once
they have worked out the kinks, they can re-submit. In the meantime, Alex from
IDT has a patch he’d like to push and I also have a patch I’d like to
push.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
