Re:What about IDE devices on a USB bus?

"Forcing a scsi interface on these devices means I lose the ability to tweak IDE settings with hdparm (32-bit I/O, DMA, etc). Has anyone considered this?"


Wouldn't something like "echo using_dma:1 ><nobr> <wbr></nobr>/proc/ide/hdd/settings" also do the trick? I haven't tested this on anything other than internally connected devices (e.g. internal HD's and CD/DVD-ROMs.
