From 8a4ec67bd5648beb09d7db988a75835b740e950d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Stephen M. Cameron" Date: Tue, 3 May 2011 14:54:12 -0500 Subject: cciss: add cciss_tape_cmds module paramter This is to allow number of commands reserved for use by SCSI tape drives and medium changers to be adjusted at driver load time via the kernel parameter cciss_tape_cmds, with a default value of 6, and a range of 2 - 16 inclusive. Previously, the driver limited the number of commands which could be queued to the SCSI half of the the driver to only 2. This is to fix the problem that if you had more than two tape drives, you couldn't, for example, erase or rewind them all at the same time. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.
