Subject: [ph-linux-newbie] Help decoding (again) hdparm message: "read ()
    failed: Success"

Haven't had replies to my problem with hdparm.

What does this error(?) "read () failed: Success" mean?
What does this mean with regards to buffered disk reads?

=========================================================================
[root@xxxx /root]# hdparm -t /dev/hdc
 
/dev/hdc:
 Timing buffered disk reads:  read() failed: Success 
=========================================================================

hdc is my second hard drive.
