Hello, When USB mass storage is connected, kernel scans for partitions. If device uses ATA password, then scan fails with lots of messages in the kernel log.. [119272.475170] sd 22:0:0:0: [sdb] [119272.475179] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE [119272.475184] sd 22:0:0:0: [sdb] [119272.475188] Sense Key : Aborted Command [current] [119272.475195] Info fld=0x0 [119272.475199] sd 22:0:0:0: [sdb] [119272.475205] Add.

It would be great if kernel could set the ATA password by itself using kernel keyring, for example. Is there any such project somewhere? - Dmitry -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
