ATA-mkIII does NOT completely solve the problem. The word 54-58 of the IDENTIFY DEVICE parameter are valid only up to ATA/ATAPI-5. They are obsolete parameters in ATA/ATAPI-6 and later. So using them for a geometry translation has NO effect for recent disks. The following is the result when use SATA 200GB disk on pc98. It is clearly that recognizing a geometry fails. atapci0: <SiI 3114 SATA150 controller> port 0xc000-0xc00f,0x602c-0x602f= ,0x6030-0x6037,0x6028-0x602b,0x6020-0x6027 mem 0x20411000-0x204113ff ir= q 10 at device 17.0 on pci0 ad4: <ST3200822AS/3.01> ATA-6 disk at ata2-master ad4: 190782MB (390721968 sectors), 387621 C, 16 H, 63 S, 512 B ad4: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, SATA150 BIOS Geometries: 1:1778ffff 0..6008=3D6009 cylinders, 0..255=3D256 heads, 1..255=3D255 = sectors --- TAKAHASHI Yoshihiro <nyan@jp.FreeBSD.org> _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
