Hello, The current HPA handling implementation isn't robust enough and causes regressions on several cases. This patchset contains HPA handling update. * blacklist devices which puke on READ_NATIVE_MAX * proper/better error handling - in most cases, HPA failure won't result in detection failure * re-read IDENTIFY data after resizing * more concise messages Tested by setting up HPA area manually. Thanks. -- tejun - 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
