Hello,
I am building a recovery/diagnostic debian-live "live CD". It is a
lenny build with kernel 2.6.26-2-486.
I really want to use hdparm as in:
#hdparm -N p${lbaend} --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing /dev/hda
but I get this error:
The running kernel lacks CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL support for this
device.
READ_NATIVE_MAX_ADDRESS_EXT failed: Invalid argument
also (and I do not know if it is a connected issue) any hdd wipe
commands slows the PC to a crawl.
There a couple of "wipe" executables I use, the second link has a
debian package etc:
http://wipe.sourceforge.net/
http://lambda-diode.com/software/wipe
There is some similar correspondence here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2009/05/msg00397.html
Is there any movement on this?
Regards,
Steve
