Is there an easy way to tell whether the command was sent as LBA48, say, in the driver's bmdma_start function or even in the hardreset function after the fact? One of my tests was using a 64 sector limit, with pretty much the same results. I always test against the same file, and the results, including the number of timeouts, are different from test to test. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
