Re: libata access to pata drives breaks dma/32bit mode?

2007-05-01 Thread Phillip Susi
Are you saying that libata is supposed to always enable 32bit dma transfers?

When the drive and controller are both capable of it, yes.

 I've been seeing several complaints lately from users who have upgraded 
 to feisty and their ide disks are now being handled by libata.  It seems 
 that hdparm does not work on the devices created by the libata driver, 
 so how are you supposed to enable 32bit and dma transfers?  Several 
 users have been having trouble because they can not find a way to enable 
 them and thus, have poor performance under feisty.

As has been the case for a long time, the kernel and drive are supposed

please file a bug against the kernel.
