This patch allows normal users to eectute some Plextor drives
commands:
- Hide CD-R
- SingleSession
- SpeedRead
- PowerRec
- VariRec
- GigaRec
This one just isn't safe. We can't add vendor specific commands to the
permissions table because they mean different things to different
vendors ... get mode on one could be halt and catch fire on another, so
the whole concept of safety via command verification is lost.
Thanks for NAKing this one again, James. I'm a bit disappointed akpm
picked it up given that I explained how unsafe it was when it was posted:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=113976322621230&w=2
I NAK'd it as well, for obvious reasons...
