It seems that the desired functionality has hit mainline (v2.6.35 and later), that HPA will start enabled but will be unlocked should the partitions require it: commit d8d9129ea28e2177749627c82962feb26e8d11e9 Author: Tejun Heo Date: Sat May 15 20:09:34 2010 +0200 libata: implement on

Any known workaround for 10.04? This is so annoying. I have P35-DS4 with two HDD in RAID1, with ALL important data on it. Forunately, Windows 7 is installed on separate physical SSD disk, but previously many system files (TEMP, hiberfile, pagefile) were on RAID. It caused numerous surprising errors

With Ubuntu 9.04 (and vicinity), to solve the problem of raid corruption, I was simply adding to the boot string (F6): libata.ignore_hpa=0 With Ubuntu 10.04 (and now with 10.10) this parameter doesn't work anymore and every time I restart the PC from Ubuntu, I always have the raid corrupted; so I

It appears that upstream has implemented a change where the HPA is automatically unlocked if needed to access partitions described in the partition table, rendering the original patch obsolete. Can we please get this dropped now? -- Do NOT disable HPA by default -> leads to data loss https://bug

Yes, you're right and HPA disabled in firmware is useful as long as you don't move the HDD to another machine, but I supposed that as long as you stay things the same, this solution is far simpler than messing up with libata. Just my 2 cents. On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 2:08 PM, Phillip Susi wrote:

You don't need that HDAT2 tool, hdparm can set HPA permanently (or disable it when set to full size). By default it is a temp. change like what is done with that disabling now, but hdparm -N /dev/sdX shows HPA hdparm -N xxx /dev/sdX sets HPA to xxx temp. or hdparm -N xxxp /dev/sdX for permane

I do not agree. If you use the program HDAT2, boot from that and DISABLE HPA, the program will disable it on the Firmware Level. At least in my case, with a Velociraptor RAID0 Array, both HPA's on both disks were permanently disabled, I no longer have problems with Ubuntu since I disabled it. --

The HPA is not removed from the drive, just temporarily disabled, so it will return after a hard power cycle. This does have the undesired result however, of breaking windows if you warm boot. You would think that the reboot would reset the drive, but alas... -- Do NOT disable HPA by default ->

HPA ignore by default is a DISGRACE decision, basically what it does, is if you are already using DMRAID for MatrixRAID, NVRAID, etc, etc, it simply destroys the hpa information on boot, and this cannot be fixed. After tedious testing I found out that, once a single boot is made with HPA ignoring
