Some clarification here: do you mean with ignore_hpa=1 here?
>From a quick reading of the code in libata-core.c, it seems that the
code tries to disable hpa, if possible. Is that correct?
I now regret having partitioned an HD under a 2.4 kernel. :-( I'm
wasting 10MiB according to bc. :-(
I wish that USB enclosures would also allow things like hpa to be
disabled.
Thank you very much for your help, Rogério Brito.
