Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed
in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Raring Ringtail.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in
previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU
Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

  hdparm is 2 years old and uses old depricated IDE API for ATA Security
  commands

Status in “hdparm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hello,

  hdparm is 2 years old on Ubuntu 12.10: 9.37-0ubuntu4
  It uses old depricated IDE API for ATA Security security which is not evailable anymore in latest Ubuntu kernels.

  Following commands does not work:

  hdparm --security-set-pass
  hdparm --security-unlock
  hdparm --security-disable

  For example:
  hdparm --security-disable xxx /dev/sdb
  ----------
  security_password="xxx"

  /dev/sdb:
   Issuing SECURITY_DISABLE command, password="xxx", user=user

  
  The running kernel lacks CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL support for this device.
  SECURITY_UNLOCK: Invalid argument
  ---------------

  Please update the package from latest source
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/hdparm/files/hdparm/
