Hi there,
I was having the same issue, and tried to issue the commands listed above. I get the following error:
benjamin at BigMartha:/usr/src$ sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)
Any ideas how to get this?
Many thanks.
Ben
