IDE DMA info part 2

[John F Davis]

Hello

I almost forgot.  Here is some additional output from the VIA chipset proc 
file and the weirdness as reported by hdparm concerning this disk.


hdparm -i /dev/hda
-------------------------------

/dev/hda:

 Model=FUJITSU MHT2020AT, FwRev=009B, SerialNo=NN11T451AP9S
 Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs }
 RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4

 CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=39070080
 IORDY=yes, tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
 PIO modes:  pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 
 DMA modes:  mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 
 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5 
 AdvancedPM=yes: mode=0x80 (128) WriteCache=enabled
 Drive conforms to: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13 1410D revision 3a: 

 * signifies the current active mode



What is weird about this is that currently hdparm -d /dev/hda shows this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/hda:
 using_dma    =  0 (off)



hdparm -I /dev/hda
----------------------------------

/dev/hda:
