Re: PATA-disk named sda

Hello,

In recent kernels both PATA and SATA (SCSI too) drives are handled by

libata library. It calls all the drives sd* .

If so, what about the use of hdparm then? I could not change parameters
like DMA, MultSectIO and 32-Bit support with hdparm. sdparm also did not
do that work.

hdparm will still work for most functions,
but setting dma, multsectio, and 32-bit are now solely
the responsibility of the kernel (libata), for now.

Cheers
