Description Thomas Boerkel 2006-09-29 06:26:15 UTC
Description of problem:
The hard disk on this PC was running with udma with Fedora Core 3. FC5's hdparm
now says otherwise. Either it is NOT using udma or hdparm tells the wrong story.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hdparm-6.3-2.2

How reproducible:
hdparm -iv /dev/hdb

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
hdparm says "no udma", because there is no "*" behind a udma mode. However,
using_dma is 1. I do not remember, if udma mode was udma2 or udma4 on FC3.

# hdparm -iv /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    = 256 (on)
 geometry     = 16383/255/63, sectors = 156368016, start = 0

dmesg suggests UDMA(100) is available:

# dmesg | grep hdb

hdb: cache flushes supported

EXT3 FS on hdb2, internal journal
EXT3 FS on hdb1, internal journal
Adding 1052248k swap on /dev/hdb3.  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:1052248k

The only other drive (hdc) in this PC is a DVD drive and this one's using udma4,
according to hdparm.

Expected results:
udma should be used.

Please try again with the latest hdparm-7.6 from rawhide and reopen if this
problem still exists
