Re: sata_sil24 not configuring drive right?

[Johann-Christoph Jacob <johann-christoph.jacob@fhtw-berlin.de>]

Hello

i do have a NCQ queue_depth of 1 too and my /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth is not writeable.
I thought i'd take the time to provide you with the hdparm output hoping this minor issue can be resolved.

Yours faithfully
Johann-Christoph Jacob
