>Description:
I found a little bug (probably) in sys/dev/ata-all.c which somehow corrupts
device parameters structure. When I first did "atacontrol list" device info
about ad0 looked like this:
Master: ad0 <Maxtor 6Y080P0/YAR41BW0> ATA/ATAPI revision 7
after I ran "atacontrol cap ad0" it printed somewhat messy output like having
enabled SMART but not supported...
then I did "atacontrol list" again and saw that the line about ad0 have changed
to something like this:
Master: ad0 <W0Maxtor 6Y080P0/YAR41BW0> ATA/ATAPI revision 0
or similar.
After some digging and comparing the way "IOCATADEVICES" and "IOCATAGPARM" work
I saw (probably) bogus ata_getparam() call. After removing this call to
ata_getparam() everything work as expected (atleast that's what it looks like
for ~30 min run). "atacontrol cap ad0" shows right results and doesn't screw
the device parameters. I just hope that this doesn't break something else but I
doubt it coz it just gets info and doesn't set anything.
