Er, oops, 0x27 is the read. 0x37 is the "SET MAX ADDRESS EXT" ... would appear your drive has a host-protected area or is in the set_max_locked/set_max_frozen state. There's nothing functionally to worry about, but maybe your BIOS has decided to protect part of the drive? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
