The warnings are way off track, because 1. /dev/hd* means ide-cd which has never had the incriminated bugs, no matter if badly designed or not 2. you can't tell from looking at /dev/sg* or the b,t,l if the device node is operated by the ide-scsi or sg drivers. Both use the unified /dev/sg* namespace. In fact, it makes sense to suppress the warning for /dev/hd* and ATA: which are known good. -- 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/
