I can't answer your question directly - but from my USB flash card I see that hdparm is not reading it as a hard drive. I can only assume that the CF controller chip is not compatible with the hdparm IO for IDE chip drives: # hdparm /dev/sda /dev/sda: readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 1023/32/61, sectors = 1997312, start = 0 # hdparm -i /dev/sda /dev/sda: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument # hdparm -I /dev/sda /dev/sda: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Input/output error -- Regards, Mick
