Which version of hdparm do you have? It looks like it's trying to get the drive geometry for your CD drives, which is indeed "Inappropriate" ...
I'm using hdparm-6.3-9, but my workstation isn't quite 10.1 - probably one of the betas or an RC.
OK, I've moved up to 6.3-11 which is 10.1GM.
Doing hdparm /dev/hdc (my CD-burner), I also see the HDIO_GETGEO error. But "hdparm -dx /dev/hdc" works fine.
Do you get any errors from "hdparm -dx /dev/hdx" ?
I am using the hdparm which comes with 10.1: 6.3-11 Doing hdparm -dx /dev/hdx does not produce the error but it also does not give me the same results- I only get- using_dma = 0 (off) busstate = 1 (1) and that's all. Cheers. -- All answers questioned here.
