And if you can't read it ;)

"The MPT Fusion driver used with the LSI 1030 chip can sometimes hang during
error recovery when traversing the SCSI mid-layer unjam_host() routines (task
abort, device reset, bus reset, host reset). This happens more frequently when
Quick Arbitration and Selection (QAS) is enabled, but can also occur with
marginally performing disk drives. ..."

In general, do you think those update messages need to be more verbose?

Ciao, Marcus
