Re: Review of the 07 draft

["Eddy Quicksall" <ESQuicksall@hotmail.com>]

I don't like the idea of not letting a user of a SCSI utility be able to
change some of the parameters for iSCSI. Because they may be relevant to him
and there may not be a user interface to the iSCSI driver. pSCSI sets these
low level parameters via a standard mode set, so why not iSCSI?

It would be best if we could work out something where only the SCSI layer
can set the mode pages. That would solve everything.
