Sorry for hijacking the thread, but on another note, is there anyway to tell linux to tell the drive to not bother retrying read errors? Would be perfect for streaming video from a CD or DVD. Usually video players have excellent error recovery themselves, which probably looks better on the screen than the movie coming to a grinding halt due to the retries.
I remember this being discussed quite some time ago, but I don't remember if anything came out of it? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
