I think it should be very simple to, just as we send a READ_CAPACITY16 / READ_CAPACITY32 / READ_CAPACITY64 or is it a GET_CODE_PAGE ? whatever we send today we can also have READ_CAPACITY_PART() which will send a READ of sector 0 the raw PC_COMMAND way and run it through some partition analyzer. We only need to support gpt or msdos partitions I think in this case. Then if READ_CAPACITY16 returns all ffff(s) and READ_CAPACITY32 is not supported and/or blacklisted, then yes attempt a READ_CAPACITY_PART() which should be sam-2 compatible. It should not take longer than a weekend afternoon over cup of Machha. If any one sends a bad device my way, I'll do it. But anyone should be able to code something so simple. > Alan Stern > Cheers Boaz -- 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
