Re: iscsi : default iscsi mode page settings.

[Santosh Rao <santoshr@cup.hp.com>]

Julian,

The FirstBurstSize is an iscsi property and not an attribute of the scsi ULP.
Evidence of this lies in its location itself, the disconnect-reconnect mode
page. This mode page is used to tune the parameters of the service delivery
subsystem (in our case, this would be iscsi).

I would like to re-iterate my request that FirstBurstSize be placed as a login
key.

Regards,
Santosh
