Well, after some experimentation, this one appears to be ATA-only,
with no ATAPI support at all.

You may prefer different names for the invoking functions

Hi,
Trying out 2.6.25-rc2 smartd always causes my box to hang. I can switch

Using sysrq-e I noticed a callpath open -> ext3 -> journals -> sync_buffer ->
io_scheduel -> generic_unplig_device.
I'd guess the open stems from smartd.

I've ported the scsi_ram driver [1] to libata. It could use a lot more

filled in, and there's a lot of commands it doesn't even try to execute.
