Hello all I have a problem when using vendor-specific SCSI opcodes with the ide-cdrom drive. Unless I run the CDROM_SEND_PACKET ioctl as root, I am getting an error.... plus a kernel warning: Aug 10 12:09:08 localhost kernel: scsi: unknown opcode 0xfa
(..and there is not only 0xfa ad opcode ;-) As far as I have understood the kernel source code, the problem seems to be related to the verify_command() introduced in 2.6.8. The thing is that all these vendor-specific opcodes are not inside the 'cmd_type', and so not 'safe'. Nice thing is that when I use exactly the same device over an IDE-to-USB bridge, it is working like a charm ;-) So is there a way to bypass this command verification and to let the program work without launching it as root user ?
