I have uploaded a proposal for consideration
of reporting the reservation holder of an SPC-2 reservation (i.e., RESERVE(6)
or RESERVE(10)) using the PERSISTENT RESERVE IN - READ FULL STATUS. When
I started this proposal it seemed like a quick and easy thing that could
be accomplished by simply defining a single new bit in the READ FULL STATUS
descriptor and everything would be perfect. I was hoping to get it
through with only minor edits during CAP.
Alas, this involves Persistent Reservations.
You should all know what that means! (>_<)>
It turned out to be a lot bigger than
I anticipated.

Any arrows you could send at me ahead
of time would be appreciated.
Thanks,
