[PATCH] sbp2: add read_capacity workaround for iPod
Apple decided to copy some USB stupidity over to FireWire. The sector number returned by iPods from read_capacity is one too many. This may cause I/O errors, especially if the kernel is configured for EFI partition support. We use the same workaround as usb-storage but have to check for different model IDs. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=114233262300001 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187409 Acknowledgements: Diagnosis and therapy by Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer <ml2news@free.fr>, additional data about affected and unaffected Apple hardware from Vladimir Kotal, Sander De Graaf, Bryan Olmstead and Hugh Dixon.
