set-sector-size and -Istdout woes with TOSHIBA MG09ACA18TE
-
The datasheet clearly shows that only the models with an "S" as the 5th character support changing the sector size. Yours has an "A". Drive doesn't support it.

Thank you so much! This worked for me too on TOSHIBA MG10ACA20TA

Rejected. This is a distro bug, not an hdparm bug. Fix your distro's scripts.

fdevname memory leak

Not a real issue with anything. The memory involved is tiny, and everything is freed when the program exits.

Try that and report back.

I had the same issue both with a Toshiba and a Seagate driver. In the end I ended using the tool openSeaChest_FormatUnit and with that I was able to correctly change the logical sector size on both HDDs. You can download the tool from here: https://github.com/Seagate/ToolBin (binaries avail here: https://github.com/Seagate/ToolBin/tree/master/openSeaChest/bin-build/22.07.26/ ) And there is a quick guide on how to use it here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanced_Format#Seagate The tool its from...

I have no idea what you are asking. Both '-y' and '-Y' work as intended for me -- I use them regularly, and one can even verify them by using '-C' afterward to read back the (new) drive state.

Dirk Mueller posted a comment on ticket #52
one option is to make an ifdef around the include of linux/fs.h: #ifndef FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG #include <linux/fs.h> #endif
-
if at all this depends on the glibc version I think. the patch looks good to me. I have tested the following patch against glibc 2.19 and gcc 4.8, which is the oldest I still have around, and it compiles flawless. I have removed all linux/ includes as they should come via glibc (via sys/) instead: --- hdparm-9.64/hdparm.c +++ hdparm-9.64/hdparm.c @@ -24,9 +24,6 @@ #include <sys/mount.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/user.h> -#include <linux/types.h> -#include <linux/fs.h> -#include <linux/major.h>...

Timo Gurr posted a comment on ticket #52
This shouldn't have anything to do with GCC(?). At least for my tests hdparm 9.64 with the patch applied compiled fine on two systems, one with glibc 2.35 and one with glibc 2.36 where it failed to build without the patch.
-
Thanks. But doing this will break builds with older versions. Can you make it conditional upon the version of GCC ?

I have renamed the new flag to be "--sanitize-overwrite-passes" to avoid confusion with existing flags where "-pass" refers to a password. Otherwise, applied for hdparm-9.63.

Hi Mark, did you have a time to look at the path bellow ?
-
adding patch adding option to specify the pass count
-
hdparm --sanitize-overwrite do not have an option to change the count parameter and default value
-
Not a bug. It does what one asks it to do. If one wants just a single-pass erase, then use "--security-erase" instead. But I'm totally open to anyone who wants to submit a patch which adds a command-line option to specify the exact number of sanitize cycles. Cheers
-
I'm looking through the source code, and I see provisions such as: switch (sanitize_feature) { case SANITIZE_STATUS_EXT: printf("Sanitize status:\n"); sanitize_state = get_sanitize_state(r.hob.nsect); sanitize_normal_output(sanitize_state, &r); break; When I run an enhanced secure erase command, I simply get nothing, it states that it's performing the erase, but nothing changes, then eventually at 30 minutes the process ends. Am I doing something wrong? How do I monitor this process?

Norman Diamond posted a comment on ticket #87
"I have no idea why the compiler is treating bit shift output as signed value performing sign extension instead of zero extension." The reason is that unsigned short promotes to signed int unless short and int have the same length. ISO C language standard, section 6.3.1.1. Mr. Lord fixed hdparm but C is unfixable.

-J Get/set Western DIgital "Idle3" timeout for a WDC "Green" drive (DANGEROUS) There is support in there, but this was written many years ago, and WD may have changed the protocol. So it might still work, or it might brick your drive. Your call. WD doesn't tell us how it works, so that's the best shot at it for now.

This should have been added in version 9.38. Though documentation claims it's not somehow as good as it could. Is idle3ctl also lacking in this regard?

Once the drive firmware has been programmed to "spin down" after inactivity (which is what -B does), then it will spin down so long as it is not being accessed by the system. So.. if you want it to spin-down, hack your copy of veracrypt to STOP continually accessing the drive.

Can you provide exact line what need to be added to sudoers file that allow to launch hdparm without being asked for password? nevermind, checked and works: administrator ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/hdparm

close file handle before exit

Pointless and unneeded code bloat. Invoking exit(2) closes all open descriptors already, so there is no need to waste code to do it separately.
