Hello, Uwe Koziolek, Jeff.
Alexey Fisher has filed bug #7314 and resolved it by himself. :-)
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7314
The problem seems that the BIOS isn't updated to support LBA48 but
libata doesn't know about it and issue LBA48 commands anyway. I suppose
there's a way to detect this mechanism. We can either force LBA28 mode
or at least print warning message urging the user to upgrade BIOS if
such condition is detected.
Any ideas on how to detect this?
Thanks.
