Re: Changes to ide-probe.c in 2.6.9-rc2 causing improper detection

[Mark Lord]

That all looks pretty safe to me.  I wouldn't touch it.

But one could augment it with a check of the ATA revision code,
and possibly exclude drives that predate the *formal* introduction
of the FLUSH_CACHE command, unless their IDENTIFY data specifically
claims to include it.

Cheers
