Subject: Who's minding the IDE driver?!?

I've had no response to my earlier post (Subject: IDE driver: CBLID
revisited).

In comparing the driver to docs I have, I've noticed some things and
have more to say about the VIA support, but I'm not much for sending
e-mail to myself....

I posted to this list to begin with because I found nowhere else to take
the issue. It seems impossible to determine who's supposed to be
maintaining the IDE driver these days.

I read it... saved it for later reply, even ;-)

(I'm the author of libata, a new ATA driver)

Bart is: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <[email protected]>

Though Vojtech Pavlik is typically considered maintainer of the Via IDE
driver.

Yeah, it was a little long and rambling. It was difficult, in part
because I was/am still confused by the driver.

Is that "lib" as in "liberation"?

Don't expect any maintainer to reply every single mail.

Well, of course not. I think however the post gets into an issue I
would normally expect some maintainer to take an interest in, in some
form. Of course, I may not have written it in such a way as to make
that very easy, although I tried.

Thanks for the clarification.

I happen to be running 2.4.20, but from what I can see, nothing appears
to have changed that would affect this issue in 2.5.x.


In any case, it appears I'll have to rephrase and try again.... ;)
