This is certainly the case in both > approaches - just the numbers are different! If the IDE drivers were real IDE ones you'd also have one Scsi_Host for each of the as that's how libata handles in. In a way you're much closer to real ATA than with the previous block driver. If your host side support the ATA passthrough SCSI cdbs you'll even be able to pass taskfiles to them and use tools like hdparm in the guest. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
