[ATA] Increase lba48 max-sectors from 200 to 256.
So was it for LBA28 or for LBA48?
As for LBA28, it might be quite dangerous. Particularly, I know that
IBM drives used to mistreated 256 as 0 in the past (bumped into that on
a 8-year old drive which is still alive though).
..
The exact model was IBM DHEA-34331.
I've been travelling for the past month, so pardon the late tuning in here.
I've *never* encountered a drive that had this problem.
Controllers, yes, and those are easily dealt with in the chipset drivers.
But never drives. Not since 1992 when I first took up Linux IDE stuff.
I have some 7-year old IBM drives here, and they certainly don't have
this problem either (but they do have working TCQ etc..).
I suspect Sergei simply had a bad controller card at the time.
Cheers
