Subject: [PATCH 2.6.18-rc3, 2.6.17.7] ieee1394: sbp2: enable auto spin-up for Maxtor disks
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2006 19:40:06 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tkrat.f5b216d7ca35e7f2@s5r6.in-berlin.de> (raw)

At least Maxtor OneTouch III require a "start stop unit" command after
auto spin-down before the next access can proceed.  This patch activates
the responsible code in scsi_mod for all Maxtor SBP-2 disks.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=183011

Maybe that should be done for all SBP-2 disks, but better be cautious.

Fixes loss of connection if an external Maxtor disk automatically went
into power saving mode.
