That ATAPI support is slow and unreliable, Joerg was a fool to merge it. It shold _not_ be used!

It's amazing how people asking for help think they can define the rules as well. -- Jens Axboe - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
