I synched them now as good as possible - the changes will be in glibc
2.1.3.
What problems do you see? Please tell me privatly - I can provide you
the current versions if you like.
Douglas> At least 3 Linux kernel header files (for user space usage) are
Douglas> effected by this:
Douglas> sg.h [ as noted above ]
Douglas> scsi.h [ currently in sync ]
Douglas> scsi_ioctl.h [ not present in /usr/include/scsi ]
Will be in glibc 2.1.3.
Douglas> I have yet to check but the multiple queue work on the SCSI
