Same findings as Tino's: "sg_start --stop" is accepted but does not stop the motor. "sg_start --pc=3" or "=2" stop the motor. "sg_start --pc=1" or a read command restarts the motor. "sg_start" does not restart the motor. ³) "sg_start --stop" is accepted but does not stop the motor. "sg_start --pc=3" or "=1" fails with "invalid field in cdb". This is of course against the spec, because RBC includes power condition. Moreover, when OS X shuts down, it apparently sends START STOP UNIT without power condition to FireWire disks. Therefore we also should rather _not_ use power condition per default. I will send a patch which uses the power condition field only for PL-3507 and DViCO CX-1. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- -=-= -=-=- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- 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
