Hello,
I am trying to byteswap one of my disks. So I parse the next option hdc=swapdata (I also tried hdc=bswap)
During boot I see the following message:
ide_setup: hdc=bswap
cat /proc/ide/hdc/settings
bswap 1 0 1 r
Looks also ok.
But then I do a cp /dev/hdc swappedfile.dat or a dd, but the file is the same as without enabling bswap???
I tried different kernels 2.4.18/7 and 2..2.19 same problem.
Do I need to enable an extra option in the kernel?
Thanks for reading sofar.
Cheers,
Erik
