hdparm "unknown 206[12]" features and security...

["Daniel J Blueman" <daniel.blueman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

I was looking at the features on a new 320GB 2.5" SATA2 disk and
finding the current hdparm 7.7 doesn't recognise a couple of features
[1]. I dumped the raw identify data [2], if it is of use.

Also, do you know what tools to use to set a drive password and unlock
the drive at boot-time, equivalent to what various laptop BIOSes
allow.

Thanks!
  Daniel
