Thanks for the information! Yes, I should had stated it a bit more accurately, that is, instead of stating model numbers like I did (ICxxxxxxAT and ICxxxxxxAV) judging from the source code and imprinting on that brand-new 120G I bought :) HDD family name major designation should probably be used. As seen on IBM's website: http://www.storage.ibm.com/hdd/support/table.htm This is "Deskstar" family, and ICxxxxxxAV models are only these ones: 120GXP | IC35L120AVVA07 | 123.52G | ata100 | 7200rpm | IC35L100AVVA07 | 102.93G | ata100 | 7200rpm | IC35L080AVVA07 | 82.34G | ata100 | 7200rpm | IC35L060AVVA07 | 61.49G | ata100 | 7200rpm | IC35L040AVVA07 | 41.17G | ata100 | 7200rpm | IC35L020AVVA07 | 20.57G | ata100 | 7200rpm --------+----------------+---------+--------+-------- 60GXP | IC35L060AVER07 | 61.49G | ata100 | 7200rpm | IC35L040AVER07 | 41.17G | ata100 | 7200rpm | IC35L030AVER07 | 30.73G | ata100 | 7200rpm | IC35L020AVER07 | 20.57G | ata100 | 7200rpm | IC35L010AVER07 | 10.27G | ata100 | 7200rpm There are no other GXP models listed in their sheets. Speaking of ICxxxxxxAV models, I believe that docs/38290 PR originator was not as accurate as I was (as he forgot about ICxxxxxxAT series), but his patch looks nicer (does not have all those ugly xxxxxx thingies). As for ICxxxxxxAT series, the family that matches this model numbering is "Travelstar". That's what they got: 60GH | IC25T060ATCS05 | 60.01G | ide | 5400rpm | IC25T060ATCX05 | 60.01G | ide | 5400rpm --------+----------------+--------+-----+-------- 48GH | IC25T048ATDA05 | 48.00G | ide | 5400rpm --------+----------------+--------+-----+-------- 40GN | IC25N040ATCS04 | 40.00G | ide | 4200rpm | IC25N030ATCS04 | 30.00G | ide | 4200rpm | IC25N020ATCS04 | 20.00G | ide | 4200rpm | IC25N010ATCS04 | 10.05G | ide | 4200rpm --------+----------------+--------+-----+-------- 40GNX | IC25N040ATCS05 | 40.00G | ide | 5400rpm | IC25N020ATCS05 | 20.00G | ide | 5400rpm | IC25N040ATCX05 | 40.00G | ide | 5400rpm | IC25N020ATCX05 | 20.00G | ide | 5400rpm --------+----------------+--------+-----+-------- 30GN | IC25N030ATDA04 | 30.00G | ide | 4200rpm | IC25N020ATDA04 | 20.00G | ide | 4200rpm --------+----------------+--------+-----+-------- 15GN | IC25N015ATDA04 | 15.00G | ide | 4200rpm | IC25N010ATDA04 | 10.05G | ide | 4200rpm | IC25N006ATDA04 | 06.00G | ide | 4200rpm This one is a bit tougher, because we cannot simply use model main suffix (GH, GN) like we did above with GXP models, since there are number of GH and GN models that do not support TQ according to Soren's code (as they do not fit ICxxxxxxAT mask): /* * check IBM's new obscure way of naming drives * we want "IC" (IBM CORP) and "AT" or "AV" (ATA interface) * but doesn't care about the other info (size, capacity etc) */ if (!strncmp(adp->device->param->model, "IC", 2) && (!strncmp(adp->device->param->model + 8, "AT", 2) || !strncmp(adp->device->param->model + 8, "AV", 2))) return 1; Frankly, I do not see a clear way of stating what drives support TQ, in the manual page. From one point, we could have write something like this: (only IBM DPTA, DTLA, all GXP, 60GH, 48GH, 40GN, 40GNX, 30GN, and 30GN drives support that) OTOH, this looks obscure and somewhat inconsistent, since DPTA and DTLA are model numbers, while GXP, 60GH, 48GH, 40GN, 40GNX, etc. are drive family names. *sigh* In fact, I do not see any direct indication in IBM's specs whether some drive supports TQ or not :-( I mean, in general. I do not have time for reading every *.pdf I could find there. I'm CCing this to docs/38290, the similar PR originator, in hope that together we can find a better solution. AFAIK, Linux 2.5 supports TQ as well, so we might take a look how linux folks document this. *grin* ./danfe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
