Hello, 1. Which -B value works? 2. Can you please attach the output of smartctl -a on the drive? 3.

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
