The typical USB drive enclosure uses actual SCSI commands, so there is no emulation. It is said that usb-storage emulates SCSI _adapter_, which is true in a way, but is not important. > Related question: If I want to use TASKFILE ioctls with a 2.4 kernel do >[...] > implement/improve the ATA security features in hdparm. Before you plunge into the taskfile, why don't you answer this: do these password commands conform to ATAPI or ATA? Again, you seem to assume ATA, but is this correct? Since ATAPI is SCSI overlaid on top of ATA, it should be a piece of cake to have them working. ATA is more difficult, but let's not go there until we must. And last, why in the world are you talking about 2.4 kernel in a Fedora development list? -- Pete -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
