How to set hdparms for ide-scsi devices on devfs?

2001-02-28 Thread Eduard Hasenleithner
Sorry, if this issue was already discussed in lkml. I didn't find a reference to this at www.geocrawler.com My Problem: I want to set the unmaskirq and dma -flag for my ide cd-recorder. The Problem is, that devfs creates no ide device, but only the /dev/scsi/../{cd,general} devices are created.

This is NOT a dd problem. I have been trying to write large files to a vfat filesystem. This is definitely a bug with the kernel. I have had the seg fault. Try running the program again, but look at your console. It think that it will result in a kernel bug statement.I think that mine said it was
