Yes. Most of the warnings mean `Linux is not exactly the same as Solaris
in every respect, and treats ATAPI devices like IDE devices from the
user POV'.

Schilling actually thinks that users *like* referring to IDE drives via
SCSI LUNs. I've never seen anyone agree with him, but that won't stop
a religious zealot... I think all those years slaving over the insane
standards violations of CD writers has driven him into kookery or
something.
