To clarify, the second number reported should NEVER be less than
the first number. If it is, then there's a bug in the low-level
libata driver for your SATA/IDE controller -- it's not returning
the high-order-bytes from the SAT command. Several drivers had
this bug until 2.6.27 or so, and some may still misbehave.
A newer version of hdparm will verify that, and also show the correct
value (hopefully) obtained via a completely different mechanism.
Thanks
Here the new output, it still does not look right, or am I wrong?
/dev/sda:
max sectors = 66055248/15723600(66055248?), HPA setting seems
invalid (buggy kernel device driver?)
Kind regards,
