Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hdparm
In Feisty final, all of the disk drives are now called sdX instead of hdX. (as
i understand they are now using the new pata driver. I have a regular IDE Drive
and i want to enable DMA on it using the hdparm. Here is what i get:
# hdparm -v -d1 /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 9729/255/63, sectors = 156301488, start = 0
What can be done to enable DMA?
** Affects: hdparm (Ubuntu)
