    SubjectDevices not supporting read-6....
    Date
    From

    Hi,

    As far as I know, "read-6" is a very mandatory command. However
    there is a device, the

    {"TOSHIBA","DVD-RAM SD-W1101","*", BLIST_GHOST},

    which doesn't implement it.

    What do we do?

    - Blacklist it as "doesn't support read-6" and implement
    stuff to prevent read-6 if that flag is set?

    - Ignore the issue, and just let people with this hardware
    live with a non-working drive?

    Is there maybe already something implemented? Anybody the "owner" of
    that piece of code?

    I seem to own the "blist_ghost" stuff, so it's going to be listed
    there, but then the system runs into not-working read-6 commands.

    Roger.

    P.S. (I'm not on linux-scsi, and I'm on vacation starting saturday).
    I had been hoping it would've been as easy as listing the drive as
    a 'blist_ghost' thing, but now things are more complicated...
