I've been struggling to get read performance out of a bizarrely underperforming
ATA100 7200RPM drive, and tried the latest IDE patch from linuxdiskcert.org.
When reconfiguring the kernel, there was a new option 'Auto-Geometry Resizing
support'.  From the description of the option, sounds like it lets you change
geometry on the fly.  No docs in the help though.  Anyone know the skinny here?
