in sata_sil.c there is: sil_blacklist [] = { { "ST320012AS", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE }, { "ST330013AS", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE }, { "ST340017AS", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE }, { "ST360015AS", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE }, { "ST380023AS", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE }, { "ST3120023AS", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE }, { "ST3160023AS", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE }, { "ST3120026AS", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE }, { "ST340014ASL", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE }, { "ST360014ASL", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE }, { "ST380011ASL", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE }, { "ST3120022ASL", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE }, { "ST3160021ASL", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE }, { "Maxtor 4D060H3", SIL_QUIRK_UDMA5MAX }, { } }; I've got ST3120026AS and I've been using it with SIL3112 without this hack for a long time - without any negative effects. The same impression on ST3200822AS - is there any way to check if it is REALLY necessary? 15MB/s is not what I'd expect on SATA...
It's necessary until we can prove otherwise. Simply running well without your drive in the blacklist means nothing -- you just haven't hit the error condition yet.
So how can I proove it? Are there any tests? It's been running for over a year, almost 24/7 and nothing...
Still no response - so again:
is there ANY way to test if this hack is necessary for specific model of a disk?
You need a bus analyzer, and need to test different sizes of FIS's. If all possible sizes (2048 combinations) work on your device, the blacklist entry is not needed.
