I agree with Kumare - having to run "sata init" manually is annoying.
Sorry for the bodus 'e' here.
We should auto-run it upon the first "sata" command if it hasn't been called before (but still keep the option to run it manually, for example to (re-) initialize the system after changing the configuration while the system is running).
But its not just sata commands. I know I've used a SATA disk w/ext2 load commands.
But this will eventually call some S-ATA function intenrally,w hcih can check that S-ATA has not been initialized yet, and run the init function?
Ok. Agreed if that is how Mike's patch ends up working.
