From: Willem Riede <wrlk@riede.org> The onstream drives, be they scsi, atapi, ieee1394 or usb, are supported by the osst driver. When the drives were new, code was introduced in ide-tape independently, but never really maintained since. There are issues with the drives I found and dealt with in osst, that ide-tape doesn't address. So this code in ide-tape is both redundant and imperfect. I assumed from http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107550547613846&w=2 that there was buy in for removing it. When this patch is applied, ide-tape will refuse to attach to an onstream DI drive, and will write to syslog to use ide-scsi + osst instead.
