Bug#982128: Re : Disk with 60801 cylinders (seen in Puppy Gparted) is detected as having 16709 in Hurd

2021-02-06 Thread Paul Dufresne
Package: Hurd

Severity: normal



I have tried to install July 2020  version of Hurd on a real (Dual Core 3 Ghz) 
computer. 
 
 AHCI was not working (with a message Phy0? from memory). 
 So I change in the BIOS, AHCI to IDE. 
 
 Then the 500 GB disk was detected as: 
 hd2: ST500DM002-1BD142, 131071 MB CHS=16709/255/63 
 
 I booted a Puppy Linux on it, and in Gparted, 
 CHS=60801/255/63

Please use the reportbug command rather than trying to fill the form by
hand, which is always error-prone.

That's because the IDE driver only supports LBA28. The AHCI driver does
support 2TB devices, see

Bug#959221: [hurd] install UI slow to point of unusable, even text UI for me too

Hello,

I have to admit I had never noticed that bug report, I don't know why.

That's odd, I had never seen such behavior, be it in virtual environment
or bare metal. Since you mention disk partitioning, I would guess a bad
interaction between the ahci disk driver and the disk device. Nothing I
can work on personally since on my systems I don't have the issue. Are
there timeout logs being printed?

If you got to the second console with ctrl-alt-f2, and run there

ps | grep R

which processus show up?
