My question is related to the patch introduced in this post How to tell Linux Kernel > 3.0 to completely ignore a failing disk?
If the kernel is patched with this code what is the kernel parameter that need to be set to disable ata:2
Cheers

Something like `libata.force=1:disable`. I'm not sure how to map `ata:2` to the correct number, just try some numbers to figure out the correct one. – Martin von Wittich Feb 27 '14 at 16:01

Thanks for the tip, in the meantime I also found an answer from @Rmano on another thread [link] (http://superuser.com/questions/599333/how-to-disable-kernel-probing-for-drive) "libata.force=2.00:disable". This generally works to disable the port but it seems my problem is slightly different as even with the port disabled I get "ata2 comreset failed (errno=-16)" and "ata2: link is slow to respond, please be patient" – user61520 Mar 01 '14 at 03:46
