Thanks, SiI! Doesn't seem to contain any more info on drives/controllers affected by the mod15write quirk. I'd like to see firmware revisions added to the blacklist, and not just model numbers anymore. I didn't have that information when I first implemented the blacklist (model numbers only), and it still doesn't seem to be available right now. I'm rather disappointed that the drive (ST3160023AS) I use has managed to get its way onto the blacklist[1]. I'm using rev 3.05 of that drive with a 3112 (rev 02), and have been for nearly a year at full speed and have never had problems under heavy read/write usage. Setups affected by an uncorrected mod15write bug are corrupted almost immediately, no? --=20 Eric Wong -- eric@petta-tech.com -- normalperson@yhbt.net --wRokNccIwvMzawGl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBeqzdcodMowuNYfcRAhKZAJ9+GEp32Phx+aa9nGndnmE0pSq4fgCfSTq0 6XCUp3UPHYMJbN8zXLJ52t8= =qSH8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --wRokNccIwvMzawGl--
