Previously, I've also had to upgrade older SIG PATA controllers to get
them to see past 500GB.
Sig has new firmware on their site, but you have to do the upload from
DOS. (or supposedly windows. Don't know about that.). ie. use a

Mark,
I asked on the SUSE list and was informed by Philipp Thomas of Novell
(cc'ed) that the only mention of make_bad_sector in the hdparm-7.7
source is in a todo list.

Kristin, you can issue Security Erase via hdparm, but don't forget
that the Security Erase command is blocked by significant number of
BIOS implentations, so switching to it would be a fundamental chan
etc. that publishes a white-list of
drives that are known to have a proper implementation of Security
Erase? Lacking something like that and realizing how rarely it is
used, I'm not sure it should be trusted.
Performing both a Security Erase and calling shred on the drive might
be the ultim

standalone USB external carriers with these same physical drives with
no issues.
My conclusion is that the electronics in the prepackaged external
units is just not up to the job if your doing heavy i/o.

I don't know if it is relevant, but I had to disable MSI to get a
MCP55 NIC to work under 2.6.22.

Also, if you have Port Multiplexers (PMPs) in use, that would be
interesting to know. I don't even know if PMPs are supported via SAS
controllers in 2.6.24 or not. ie. PMP support is new to 2.6.24 and
only a few Sata controllers will have PMP support in 2.6.24.

My question is if the drivers/ide infrastructure is slowly moving in
the direction of being leverageable by libata when/if it moves out of
scsi. Or does the drivers/ide code simply have the wrong kind of
plumbing for libata to ever use.
Thanks

ATA and SATA physical layer typically carry ATA commands and
having them tied into the SCSI stack is an aberration that I hope will
be eliminated some day.
ATAPI is an exception. Not sure where that would end up in a perfect world.

xperience, if you try to write data past ~128GiB and
you don't have LBA48 support you get a wraparound effect that causes
corruption of the data below ~128GiB. I've seen it happen several
times under Win2K in particular.

iiuc, raid editions are designed to fail fast thus allowing an
alternate drive to provide the data rather than having to wait thru
multiple internal retries.
Could this just be a case of the drive functioning as designed?

OpenSUSE 10.3 is still in Alpha stage (at least a few months away from
release), but they too have switc

If you're planning on using Port Multiplier, sil3124/32 would be the
best bet ATM.

use the -m (--max) option to permanently modify your HPA setting.
You can also use -d to make volitile changes. IIRC, volitile changes

Retested with Hitachi drive and 2.6.10 vanilla kernel.
Same behavior, HPA is not reset to native max.

I can't speak to your specific motherboard/chipset, but the
performance testing I have done shows that the onboard IDE controllers
do not have two independent channels, so using both channels does not
provide twice the speed of a single channel, not even close.
True under both Linux and Windows2K.
