The patch titled pata_it821x in 2.6.27: works but no LBA48 and "hdparm -t" is slower has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was pata_it821x-in-2627-works-but-no-lba48-and-hdparm-t-is-slower.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: pata_it821x in 2.6.27: works but no LBA48 and "hdparm -t" is slower From: Ondrej Zary <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch fixes LBA48 on pata_it821x RAID volumes - and to my surprise, also increases the "hdparm -t" speed back. Haven't tested access to >128GB area.
