Libata is slowly adding support for PATA controllers. I would like to experiment with the new functionality. I have several Adaptec PATA PCI controllers. (They use SIG chips/firmware/driver). Is there a way to use/test them with libata? In general, should I expect better or worse performance for simple commands like "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc bs=50k" I am building a dedicated disk cleaner and will be running a lot of dd's in parrellel. ie. I can currently do 8 with all drives set to Master. Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
