Re: (timeout) error during cd fixation

thanks a lot. with the patch you attached the CDRIOCFIXATE-error completely
disappeared. i tested it burning a cd using maximum speed settings.

i guess this entirely solves the issues described in
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=95979 so the PR should be closed.

can you commit the changes in ata-queue.c to svn/head? it would also be nice
if the patch would make it into 7.1-RELEASE.

cheers.
