It seems to work, except I get two warnings for HDIO_GET_IDENTITY: > Jan 6 11:05:00 comonad ata_id[1980]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb': Invalid argument > Jan 6 11:05:00 comonad ata_id[1981]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdc': Invalid argument ata_id is a user program; it's part of udev. It's not surprising that HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed, and the failure is harmless. And in fact the errors aren't even new. In your original email message (the one posted on Jan. 2), the system log contained one of those errors. There was only one because only one of the two drives was working, but this still proves that the patch wasn't responsible for causing the errors. Therefore unless there are any other objections, I'll submit this patch soon.
