I agree with Kumare - having to run "sata init" manually is annoying.
We should auto-run it upon the first "sata" command if it hasn't been
called before (but still keep the option  to  run  it  manually,  for
example   to   (re-)   initialize   the  system  after  changing  the
configuration while the system is running).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
