Linux 2.4.1 fails to detect correct geometry for the four last disks (identified as hde, hdf, hdg, hdh). But there is no indication of what the problems could be, or what he thinks the geometry should be (and why). I see nothing very wrong in the posted data. Andries [Don't forget: (i) geometry does not exist (ii) hdparm is just some user program.] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
