User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 (X11/20080421) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: IDE/ATA development list , Linux Kernel Subject: hdparm-8.7 is released Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 974 Lines: 23 Version 8.7 of hdparm is now available from Sourceforge.net. This version includes a number of small fixes and the like, plus these new features: -- Uses sysfs to get device offset / size values, so it will continue to work with 2TB (and larger) drives. It falls back to the ioctl() interfaces when sysfs is unavailable. -- The -Q (queue_depth) flag now works with sysfs. This can be useful for easy tuning of SATA NCQ queue_depths, among others. -- New --fibmap flag, to dump out the extent list for a specified file. New --fibmap-sector flag, to dump out the absolute LBA of a specific sector of a file. These can be quite useful for determining suitable LBA values for fault-injection.
