Doug,
Thanks for the info. I thought LSI SAS HBA is not using libata.  What
SAS HBA were you using?

Best regards,
Quat Le

Quat,
I just did some testing in lk 2.6.17-rc5 and the ATA
PASS THROUGH (16) SCSI command in libata (defined by SAT)
worked in my tests.

At http://www.torque.net/sg in the news sections the
sg3_utils-1.21 beta has in its examples subdirectory:
sg_sat_identify and sg_sat_chk_power. The latter one
is interesting because it needs to read back the sector
count register after the command is complete. That
involves decoding the extended ATA status return
(sense data) descriptor.
