So, why is it that my ATAPI MO drive works perfectly with ide-scsi and sd but not with any of the IDE drivers (even if I hack them to accept an ATAPI OPTICAL device)? In 2.6, we have a patch allowing at least read-only use via ide-cd, but writing still requires ide-scsi. I did the read support part, but writing eludes me... and the read support is also unlikely to work on MO discs with a sector size other than 2048 or partitioned ones (I only use my discs as ext2 superfloppies). -- Ciao, Pascal - 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/
