Alan,
Would you be interested in an update to prevent IDE UltraDMA
from frying people's filesystems in 2.0.xx ?
It seems that enough people now have these units,
and they are completely unsafe with older kernels (2.0.xx).
[UltraDMA "reused" a status bit that used to mean "bad block",
but now means "CRC error, retry transfer". Linux 2.0.xx just
gives up when it sees "bad block", since it "knows" that it
cannot do anything about a bad block.. very painful. ]
