 |
|
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 2.4.1 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, 
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, .
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... |
