Anyway, if the SCSI emulation layer is dropping these commands it doesn't really matter if the USB device gets the translation right. Is there a way to work around the SCSI emulation layer so these commands at least get passed to the device? Related question: If I want to use TASKFILE ioctls with a 2.4 kernel do I need to configure the kernel with CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL or CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO? I saw some comment that suggest the latter, but I somehow get the impression that is about a different IDE interface and not about just sending raw TASKFILE ioctls which I need to implement/improve the ATA security features in hdparm.
