Hi John, I can't really comment much on the ATA side as I'm not overly uptodate on the ZAC spec. But a device with the 0x14 device type must have sequential required zones, which will generate new sense codes when writes outside the write pointer happens. I'm very concerned about a) how the SCSI midlayer handles those sense codes and b) how we can communicate them to the user of the device, e.g. the filesystem or user application Just attaching the device by default without a good solution for these seems dangerous to me. -- 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
