To make external drive work correctly in Kernel 2.6 linux (i.e.
avoid sbp2 aborting error and hanging data transfer), the module.conf
must be altered to include “options sbp2 serialize_io=1″ (also the sbp2
must be compiled as modules rather than embedded into kernel). In
Gentoo, we can add a file (whatever name) in /etc/modules.d/ folder for
that line, and run “modules-update” to generate the new modules.conf
file.
