SubjectRe: PROBLEM: cdrecord fails with "Cannot send SCSI command via IOCTL" with Kernel 2.2.1
Hi!

Daniel SILVERSTONE (D.Silverstone@cs.ucl.ac.uk),
"PROBLEM: cdrecord fails with "Cannot send SCSI command via IOCTL" with Kernel 2.2.1":

you may want to look at D. Gilbert's sg linux page at
http://www.netwinder.org/~dougg/ he claims his driver doesn't suffer that
hard under memory fragmentation as the origina does. I can't comment, I
haven't tested it yet.
