latest udev issue

[Neil B. Cohen]

I've not used hdparm - what am I looking for? This is the output of just
running the command on my /dev/hdc device:

[root at nbc-linux ~]# hdparm /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
 HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument
 IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    = 256 (on)
 HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument

If there is something specific I should look for, please let me know -
Feel free to email me directly (nbc at cisco.com) and save bandwidth on
this list...
