I suppose that would fix the problems with dmraid. What worries me though is that while it seems that most systems so far do not seem to store anything vital in the HPA so unlocking by default does not cause harm, it is defined as a feature, not a bug, so future systems can very well start storing vital data there, and then we really will step in it by always unlocking. -- 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
