Message-ID: <3aac340703102322p362998b9labedc13503702d2b@mail.gmail.com> Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2007 09:22:50 +0200 From: Vitaliyi <imgrey@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: libata extension Good Day Say i want to implement extended set of ATA commands available to userspace for building diagnostic tools. I need 0x40 -- read verify and 0x32 -- write long with error handling, for example. I was trying ide driver through ioctl's, but seems it lack of functionality and full of gotchas. Furthermore it oopses sometimes. Is it possible to use libata for such purpose or i need to write separate IDE driver ? By the way, i'm sure it should be done in kernel space since i'm going to deal with some hdd manufacturer commands. P.S. I was looking through libata and ide sources and documentation but still dont have broad picture.
