[opensuse-factory] hdparm
Hey Group; I have someone with a old AMD K6-2 500Mhz baby MB. It has 2 IDE hard drives on a 66 bus. hdparm and /dev/sda and /dev/sdb seem to have problems. I had a felling that SuSE may be using them as idebus=33 and not 66. So, I was going to check using hdparm and set it on. However, these drives are not liked by hdparm. I keep getting a io error. The system is SuSE 10.3Alpha2. Has anyone noticed this problem? It maybe a problem with hdparm dealing with the sda drive and not hda -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?

Can you give output of hdparm that is making trouble to you. The transfer rate of 66 interface is lower than the 66 MB/s. How much lower depends on many factors. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

hdparm is for the old IDE driver, sdparm is the one. # rpm -qf /sbin/sdparm scsi-1.7_2.36_1.22_0.18_0.99_0.91-44 There is also a manpage. "sdparm -al /dev/sda" for a good description of the bits.
