No, it seems to be looking at 0 because ata_read_native_max_address_ext returns 0 in the error case - the error that ata_exec_internal generates seems to be AC_ERR_HSM. Since 0 isn't > the size reported, we'll never try to resize it anyway, judging by ata_hpa_resize - that is, it seems to be the ata_read_native_max_address_ext call that breaks it. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - 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
