Hi all
Yesterday I reported a problem to lkml I observed with `dd' and ide cds:

After further testing, it seems that turning off dma using "hdparm -d 0
/dev/hdc" allows things to work as expected - the full disk can be read and
the resulting image is intact. It appears therefore that the problem may
lie in the ide DMA error recovery code. Alan Cox eluded to this possibility
in Dec 2001 (lkml, 28 Dec 2001, subject "Re: dd cdrom error") but it's not
clear whether the issue was pursued by anyone at that time. Does anyone
know whether this is now being addressed by Andre in his latest round of
patches via the ac tree, or has already been fixed?
Please CC me any replies. Thanks.
Regards
jonathan
