I completely agree.
By the way, does the "data corruption" also occur in 2.5 kernels?
I have not been able to trigger data corruption with the 2.5.70 patch using an internal IDE CDRW. As far as I know, the corruption in 2.4 started with 2.4.10-pre11, which was when block device caching moved from the buffer cache to the page cache. My guess is that change somehow interferes with the packet patch. If that's true, the data corruption bug can not exist in the 2.5 driver, because that driver doesn't use the page/buffer caches at all. -- Peter Osterlund - petero2@telia.com http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340
