SubjectUnable to change sata NCQ depth due to readonly /sys/block/sdc/device/queue_depth file
Hi,

I am unable to change the NCQ settings for a sata drive that
supports it - NCQ is always on. This is due to the sysfs queue_depth
file being read-only. This is on
vanilla 2.6.21.5 running with Debian Etch. (Several earlier versions
of the kernel
had this same issue.) The drive (WD Raptor) is hooked up to a Nvidia
sata controller.

amd64:/# ls -al /sys/block/sdc/device/queue_depth
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2007-06-28 10:04 /sys/block/sdc/device/queue_depth
amd64:/# cat /sys/block/sdc/device/queue_depth
31
amd64:/#

I searched but did not find any helpful information on this. Forcing
a change by changing permissions on the file did not work.

Thanks,
Roy
