Isn't the bigger risk that if you include the HPA in your block device, you'll overwrite your BIOS there? At least that's what happens on some thinkpads. It'd be nice if we left it as the BIOS leaves it by default, but make a straightforward way to enable/disable/alter the HPA region from software. (if there's already a straightforward way, feel free to clue me in -- but the default should almost certainly be to assume the HPA is set up correctly, shouldn't it?) -- Peter _______________________________________________ Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list
