From 5cd3bbfad088f86bde3e0f038ff4dd5bb0ac5290 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: FUJITA Tomonori Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2008 11:21:46 +0900 Subject: [SCSI] retry with missing data for INQUIRY This patch changes scsi_probe_lun() to retry INQUIRY if the device has not actually sent back any INQUIRY data, This enables the Thecus N2050 storage device to work better. The firmware on that device starts up strangely; it sends no data in response to the initial INQUIRY, and it sends the INQUIRY information in response to the followup REQUEST SENSE. But after that it works better, so retrying the INQUIRY is enough to get it going.
