Hi, I am convinced that the SATA Disk does support one vendor specific ATA command and got the whole bus trace via Trainer. However, I cannot implement that in the real cases with either HBA or SATA Controller like ICH5/7 via ATA Pass Thru. So I wonder whether there is one possible setup including HW and SW supporting the ATA command via ATA Pass directly and no need to understand the command meaning itself. Here is one result I got. [<unknown opcode>: 85 0b 06 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0 fd 00 ] scsi_status=0x2, host_status=0x0, driver_status=0x8 info=0x1 duration=270111 milliseconds status=0x2: sense_key=0x7 asc=0x1 ascq=0x0 The command can execute successfully partly but not finally. HW and Kernel info: 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB (ICH5) SATA Controller (rev 02) The kernel is Linux- 2.6.9-34.EL.
