See, that's just the problem. I'm running couple OCZ SSD with an Indilinx controller and also know that Mark Lord and a bunch of others are also running them on Linux without issues. And supposedly all the Indilinx firmware for the different resellers are based on the same base firmware. I did have an issue with one of them on a particular motherboard locking up, but it turned out that the whole SATA controller was flaky and went away after I replaced the motherboard. So my concern is that you're proposing to black list NCQ for all users of those particular models of SSD when it's more likely at this point that it's a problem with your specific setup. -Dave -- 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
