[expert] Hdparm problem
I am trying to optimize my new drive, and I attempted to set its UDMA mode
last night:
# hdparm -X70 /dev/hdd
/dev/hdd:
setting xfermode to 70 (UltraDMA mode6)
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setxfermode) failed: Input/output error
The drive is ATA 133 and I believe UDMA mode6, consequently. Any ideas on this
I/O error?
Here's the rest of the info that the drive dumps:
# hdparm -i /dev/hdd

Since this is a new drive, I'm assuming it should be able to do much more. First thing I'd check is to make sure that you don't have a 40 conductor IDE cable on that drive instead of the 80 that you need. Got another cable you can switch out and try? HTHs! :-) PS BTW, why is that drive /dev/hdd and not /dev/hda? Is it an add on? That looks like the slave position on the 2nd channel. Make sure your settings are correct there... -- /\ DarkLord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Also, does your HD controller support higher than mode2?

Any ideas on this I/O error? What about the controller and cable.If the contoller will only go to ATA 66 that's the fastest the drive can be set.UDMA2 is the fastest setting that could be used withoput the newer 80 wire cable,so if your cable is the 40 wire version or has a bad connecion it would also cause the reduced speed.
