Re: [PATCH 3/3] faster workaround

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is based on a patch from Jeff from 2004, but backported to 2.6.23 and 
furthermore, it will use the 7.5kiB/512B splitoff for blacklisted drives 
only.

Jeff, why did you replace ATA_SHT_USE_CLUSTERING and ATA_DMA_BOUNDARY?
