    Re: iSCSI: DLB-T.26 (response for TASK REASSIGN)



    Julian,
    
    I don't want to make an issue of it, but IMHO, since the Task Reassign
    TMF causes two task instances in target to go active (the TMF itself, and
    the reassigned task), it's best to describe the order of status delivery in
    the TMF discussion itself - i.e. 9.6.  It's easy to miss if described elsewhere.
    
    Thanks.
