Greetings, I just pushed some changes that I've had cooking in my tree for months. The first group of them improves umass code in various ways. The next group stops the USB stack from probing for 'quirks' and changes them all to either be auto probing, or in the case of SYNCHRONIZE CACHE, only send it if mode page 8 (cache control) is present. This works on the 50 Flash thumb drives, 20 hard disk adapters and 10 SD/CF/etc USB adapters. And in some cases, it's a lot faster since there's no reset that's needed. It also removes several overly wide quirks that could cause problems with devices that do support SYNCHRONIZE CACHE and write caches, but were made by a company that made other devices that didn't support it.. So, I'm pretty sure this will be a big nop. But if not, please let me know. Warner
