The non-scsi drivers are more problematic. If we're meaning ide-tape.c here then I don't know of any developers who are really working on that. I guess it's nominally Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, but I suspect he's flat out looking after regular old disk dives. > Andrew, do you want to be copied on future email exchanges?

If it's purely a driver problem then it's presumably not relevant to the scsi developers. Raising a report at bugzilla.kernel.org would probably be appropriate - I will then route it to the appropriate developer (if any) and we'll at least know that we have an issue to be addressed. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
