max_kb_per_request has value 128 , but max is 127 !?
max for multcount is 8 , but my drive supports 16 sectors. ( see hdparm output below )
If I set multcount to 8 sectors ( hdparm -m 8 /dev/hdc )
then /proc/ide/hdc/settings will show :
multcount 4 0 8 rw
The values are divided by 2. Why ?
hdparm -i /dev/hdc :
/dev/hdc:
