And I don't have a DVD with me, so I was seeing a much slower leak because the CD transfers data so much more slowly. After a kernel rebuild I see: ATA request 0 0K 1K 7285 128 after reading some bulk data off of a CD. Thanks! -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
