There are two other possibilities: a jumper on the drive is "clipping" its capacity, and / or the presence of a "host protected area" effectively doing the same thing. Check for jumpers on the drive, see if the "libata.ignore_hpa=1" option is still supported by the current kernel. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
