Description Levente Farkas 2012-03-06 14:47:49 UTC 
until now (this means from rhel 5.0-rhel 6.1) both this command works:
hdparm -I /dev/sda
hdparm -I /dev/sda1
after rhel-6.2 the second is not working. the core reason is the 
ioctl(fd, HDIO_DRIVE_CMD, args);
kernel ioctl command which no longer works when called with the /dev/sda1's fd, but still working when use the /dev/sda's fd).
Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 04:46:10 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.
