Anybody come across a HDIO_GET_ACOUSTIC failure with hdparm before? I'm not getting the problem on a yet to be deleted Red Hat 7.3 installation on the same hard disk.

Code:

cafe root # hdparm /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 I/O support  =  1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  1 (on)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  1 (on)
 nowerr       =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    =  8 (on)
 geometry     = 1661/255/63, sectors = 26688576, start = 0
 busstate     =  1 (on)
 HDIO_GET_ACOUSTIC failed: Input/output error


Chipset is (Gigabyte GA-7ZXE) VIA KT133A AGPset.
* VT8363A Memory/AGP/PCI Controller (PAC)
* VT82C686B PCI Super-I/O Integrated Peripheral Controller (PSIPC)

I'm using the SGI XFS CVS kernel (xfs-sources 2.4.18) with VIA82CXXX chipset support enabled. I disabled Intel PIIXn chipsets support (it was originally enabled by default) but that didn't cure the problem (a shot in the dark, but it was worth a try).

TIA :-)

Yep have the same, but I think few drives support acoustic management. Also read that turning it on will make the drive less noisy, but will also make it slow, :wink:

Don't think this is a problem, just means your drive doesn't support acoustic management, well I have tree fans making more noise.

Yeah. I'd just ignore that error. Probably just don't have a drive that supports the acoustic feature.

Who has, :wink: .

Maybe very specialised drives, that might interfer with other hardware (raid 5).?

Thanks guys. I'll stop worrying about it now! ;-)

Weird how that error doesn't show up in RH7.3 though. Maybe they patched it out of the source to stop support requests? Hmmm... :-)
