Fedora core 6 don't detect Host Protected Area.
Hi~
I use Fedora core 6. My HDD is SATA and 250 GB. but i can't use total size.. This is the result using 'fdisk -l' [root@localhost linux-2.6.18]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 239.2 GB, 239282664960 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 29091 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes I know Host Protected Area(HPA), yes. my computer surpport HPA. also I heard linux-2.6.x detects HPA, but i can't see messages from dmesg.. why i can't see messages? how i can use 250GB? |
Have you tried disabling HPA in BIOS?
|
yes, i did. but the result is same..
and i found some programs for HPA that is hpafs and disk_stat.. i think that Maximum Disk Sector is not correct.. [root@localhost bin]# hdparm -I /dev/sda .... Commands/features: Enabled Supported: * SMART feature set Security Mode feature set * Power Management feature set * Write cache * Look-ahead * Host Protected Area feature set * WRITE_BUFFER command .... [root@localhost bin]# ./disk_stat /dev/sda Maximum Disk Sector: 0 Maximum User Sector: 467348954 ** HPA Detected (Sectors 467348955 - 0) ** [root@localhost hpafs-0.1.0]# ./hpafs /dev/sda /mnt/hpa -o allow_other ./hpafs: capacity of /dev/sda is 268435455, native max address is 1. cannot create ./hpafs with Host Protected Area enabled. i want to this messages help you.. Thank you.. |
