I couldn't care less if libscg works for ATAPI tapes. No-one provided input for ATAPI tapes that do verify-while-write (call it read after write if you want, Hinterbandkontrolle in German) yet, and potential libscg-can't-get-a-hold-of-ATAPI-tapes problems can be discussed in a separate thread if you don't mind. -- Matthias Andree - 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/
