Hello, I need some guidance here: I would like to send return_smart_status command to an IDE device. This also returns some valuable data in sector_count register. (1) I have tried using direct inw(), inb_p(), functions. But this would cause some lost_interrupt to happen and at some times, cause the OS to hang. What shall I do? Would inw(), inb_p() be not applicable? (2) I have also tried HDIO_DRIVE_CMD. However, this doesn't return the data in the sector_count register after the RETURN_SMART_STATUS command. Or does it? Is there anywhere I can find the source code that supports the HDIO_DRIVE_CMD request to ioctl? I think my program lacks some locking or some setting to disallow other process to access the device. Or does anyone have a good suggestion? Regards, -Ana __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
