I did a test with linux 2.6.29.4 and hdparm 9.15
I have always the same error "Bad address".
But I tried with hdparm 8.9 and it's different:
# hdparm --read-sector 63 /dev/hdg
/dev/hdg:
reading sector 63: FAILED: Input/output error
Jun 1 22:50:34 pooki kernel: [ 2305.914519] hdg: task_in_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
Jun 1 22:50:34 pooki kernel: [ 2305.914519] hdg: task_in_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=63, sector=18446744073709551615
Jun 1 22:50:34 pooki kernel: [ 2305.914519] ide: failed opcode was: 0x20
This sector number in surprising!
