Handle and report ATA errors in SCSI commands #7

Open baruch opened 10 years ago

baruch commented 10 years ago

When a device is an ATA device behind a SCSI gateway and uses a proper SAT (SCSI ATA Translator) there can be ATA registers in the SENSE buffer which can be parsed for better error reporting.

They should be parsed and reported to the user and maybe used for scan decision making.

For this to work we need to use ATA commands in passthrough mode.
