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.
