Hi Alan,
thanks for merging the osst driver (a driver which support the OnStream
SC-x0, DI-x0 and USB30 tape drives) into the 2.2.19pre1 kernel.
I'd like to ask you to apply the attached patch on top of it, upgrading
the driver version from 0.8.5 to 0.8.6.1.
Changes:
* README.osst does not talk about compilation with supplied Makefiles
outside the kernel any more.
* Handle another corner case when recovering read errors.
* Try to graciously handle partial overwrites:
- Warn when overwriting with an old Write Pass Counter
- Update filemark counts etc.
* Prevent filemark list corruption by preventing to fsf past EOD.
* Error handling fixes for the polling mode (used on IDE).
Patch is against 2.2.19pre2.
Please apply!
Regards,
--
