Hi, I am currently doing a kernel module involves detecting/changing disk mode among STANDBY and ACTIVE/IDLE. I used ide_cmd_wait() to issue commands like WIN_IDLEIMMEDIATELY and WIN_STANDBYNOW1. The problem is, a drive in standby mode will automatically awake whenever a disk operation is requested and I need to know the mode change as soon as possible. (So I donot want to periodically use the WIN_CHECKPOWERMODE to detect it). I was wondering if the standby disk is waken by the kernel or by the disk firmware? If it is not in the kernel, is there any good way to detect it? Thanks, Hui -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
