Hi! Peter...

You are right: it's a device special file...

[root@u575 /dev]# ls -al sdo3
brw-rw----    1 root     disk       8, 227 Apr 16  1999 sdo3

Now it's a partition under /dev/sdo, which is a logical volume on my fibre 
channel box.  /dev/sdo3 is about 8GB.  So how do I export it properly?

I suppose merging requests (so merge_requests=0 turns it off I guess) is the 
default then.  Why don't you think it work for me, or why did it create the 
dead locks I experienced...?  (Sorry if the question seems silly...  I guess 
I just don't understand the issue here well enough yet.)

Many thanks.
