Anyone else noticed this problem?
Doing a standard SCSI read on a bad disk under linux scsi generic:
under a Plextor it returns data in the sense buffer stating that the read
failed.
However, under a Phillips CDD2600 it allways returns nothing in the sense
buffer after a read - stating that the read was a success. Even doing a
"RequestSense" it returns nothing in the sense buffer.
How can I check if a read failed on a Phillips? Trying a similar operating
under DOS on the same machine, it returns CHECK_CONDITION followed by sense
data stating that the read failed.
Could this be fixed in one of the development kernels? (2.1.x?)
I'm using Kernel 2.0.32/RedHat Linux 4.2 with scsi-generic being a module
(it's only used to access the cdrom drives as all harddisks in this machine
are E-IDE)
