[Geekos-devel] IDE

[Vishal S. <vis...@ho...>]

Hi,

The IDE driver is almost ready...just need to do some final phases of 
testing.

Now i have questions regarding the interface and certain implementations.

Do we need to implement the disk scheduling "elevator algorithm" or do you 
just want a basic read write ability to the disk. I think this would be 
required down the line for sure. But for now i could give u the basic driver 
to test the VM swapping.

Again a question about LBA and CHS...after looking into some implementations 
of file systems like FFS and EXT2 i absorved that disk geometry plays an 
important role in file system performance...
So most of the implementations talk in terms of cylinders head and sectors. 
So do we want an LBA ability in our drive

Thanks,
vishal
