Yes. And whats more the scsi generic layer has a hell of a lot less ioctls than IDE because of that. With something like scsi enclosure, scsi smart, scsi scanners its a godsend to be able to just say "Ok OS take a hike, I wish to chat with this device exactly as I damn well please".
[Reminds me - anyone got any Linux enclosure monitoring code ?] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
