Hi,
I tried to use hdparm to read the serial number form a USB-Drive. Unfortunately 
the command “hdparm –I /dev/sdb” returns the following error message (I’ve 
tried several USB-Devices and all are returning the same error message):
 
 
C:\Program Files (x86)\hdparm>hdparm.exe -I /dev/sdb
      1 [main] hdparm 4168 find_fast_cwd: WARNING: Couldn't compute FAST_CWD 
pointer.  Please report this problem to
the public mailing list cygwin@cygwin.com
 
/dev/sdb:
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Function not implemented
 
 
The version I am using has the tag: V6.9-20070228
 
Btw: Getting detailed information from my local hard drive (/dev/sda) works as 
expected.
 
 
Many thanks for a short reply!
 
Yours,
Felix
