Haha, Well, I am not sure if they "work" as in, do the right thing. I don't know if you had a chance to look at my dmesg-es but acording to the legacy IDE drivers my both disks were 2048 Peta byte each, I wish I had this kind of storage :P Btw, I just bought myself 2 500GB sata disks, care for any tests to be executed? Are there things in particulair you guys would like to have tested? Patrick On 2/24/07, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

I'm really sorry that legacy drivers just work. I will try harder. ;-) The real problem is that while legacy drivers contain a ton of workarounds and fixes for problems like that they often lacks the documentation about it. > So again, thumbs up for libata. > > Patrick
