RE: ISCSI: More on Urgent pointer

["Douglas Otis" <dotis@sanlight.net>]

David,

Once the wording is changed for Urgent Pointers to MAY and not WILL, then
simply not using the urgent pointer option will have the effect of disabling
this feature without impact.  The adapter is not assured a record mark
within any particular segment and perhaps not for the entire window should
segments be missing.  Not using the record pointer creates an identical
environment to normal scenarios possible with urgent pointers anyway.
