In a root console, I ran hdparm with no flags, and got this:
treehouse:/home/cam# hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument
HDIO_GET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument
HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed: Invalid argument
HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Invalid argument
HDIO_GET_KEEPSETTINGS failed: Invalid argument
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 19161/16/255, sectors = 78176880, start = 0
Why the "Invalid argument" responses? I can't find anything in the
man page about this, and searching Google provides a number of hits,
but they (at least the ones I have found) do not seem to address this.
I'm running a patched 2.4.20 kernel if that's any help. Is there
something I've missed in the kernel that is causing this?
TIA
