Subject: [SATA] libata update posted, and news
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2004 19:34:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4005E02D.703@pobox.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 911 bytes --]
Updates to the Silicon Image and ServerWorks drivers.
News:
* will freeze current codebase as libata 1.0, without queueing support.
libata 2.x development has already begun, and will support queueing,
sata2, and will build upon the existing codebase.
* ServerWorks seems stable, will remove 'beta' label soon
Notes:
* Silicon Image support is still considered to be unstable.
drivers/ide's siimage.c is preferred.
* Silicon Image users with Seagate SATA, particularly if you know if you
have the "mod15write" bug, should make sure that the driver is properly
applying the errata fix.
