Yes, the data on the disk is stored byte-swapped.
So it's only the drive ID and packet commands that should be swapped.
If you are storing the data on disk byte swapped then reverse the logic
in the driver so you don't need hacks for un-swapping commands and write
a bytesewap device mapper layer in the right place. Then you can even
move disks around.
That would require an additional data copy and a double byteswap on machines
which are not that fast in first place...
bye, Roman
