- 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)
