Poll: IDE vs. LIBATA

Update on 2009-04-06: sorry, adjusted the wording. Should be *IDE* vs. LIBATA of course. Sorry for the confusion. The GRML Team wants to collect feedback regarding the recent switch from IDE to LIBATA. IDE? LIBATA?

  • IDE (CONFIG_IDE) provides the old IDE subsystem (/dev/hdX), considered as legacy code.
  • LIBATA is the new subsystem (/dev/sdX - though supports IDE as well) with new features, but some old IDE systems might not work with it.

Please participate in the poll! We highly appreciate and need your feedback.
