If I comment out the entire test, it would try to unclip the capacity of all
drives. Is it safe? For my situation I would prefer to use "setmax"
or disk specific "seagate" (see later), but I do not know how to change
the kernel idea of drive geometry and capacity. I use 2.2.19 + ide patch.
Neither fdisk nor dd would not read past the clipped capacity before or after
software unclipping.

Yes, I tried that and it does report unclipped capacity.
