Yes, I agree entirely. However, I was asked to leave it in so as not to break anything that happens to work using it. So its there for 2.6.8. > 2) If idescsi is shipped, then it should not ever oops by > NULL point dereferencing. > > Your tag 'wontfix' is nonsense: any option of the above that you > choose, you find a a bug in the current kernel that must be fixed in > future revisions. I disagree. I think there is some value in leaving this driver in as it does work for some people. Think of it as a transition process. In any case, its there for sarge, so its too late. I certainly would like to see it disabled for the Etch kernel. > > Can dvdrecord use ide devices directly? > > When starting cdrecord using ATAPI interface it prints > Warning: Using ATA Packet interface. > Warning: The related Linux kernel interface code seems to be unmaintained. > Warning: There is absolutely NO DMA, operations thus are slow. > This seems to suggest that idescsi should be used instead. > > Currently /usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup says > "Usually you would not want to use ide-scsi with kernel 2.6" > It does not say : "Do not ever use it" > > Moreover gcombust does not support ATAPI in its interface > > > Any tool that uses it should have a bug filed against it. > > If so please do that. > > I'm marking this as wontfix and leaving it open > > so it can act as a reference for others. > > I think that kernel people and the mantainer of cdrecord/dvdrecord > should reach an agreement on this issue. > (Translation: I am just a poor user, please sort this out between > mantainers).
