Package: hdparm Version: 9.27-2.1 Severity: normal I was wondering if this is likely to make it into squeeze?
Another couple of potentially nasty bugs in 9.27, in case these are useful for extra encouragement.. security-erase fails on most drives >750GB as a 2-hour timeout is hard-coded - this results in a device reset during the security-erase command. Not something which sounds like it's advisable to do, in case the drive gets surprised by this... Similarly security erase via SCSI-ATA Command Translation (SAT) is broken as the timeout doesn't go into the SCSI command. There are reports of SSDs getting bricked by this. Both fixed in 9.31.
