Version 8.7 of hdparm is now available from Sourceforge.net.
This version includes a number of small fixes and the like, plus these new features:
-- Uses sysfs to get device offset / size values, so it will continue to work with 2TB (and larger) drives. It falls back to the ioctl() interfaces when sysfs is unavailable.
-- The -Q (queue_depth) flag now works with sysfs. This can be useful for easy tuning of SATA NCQ queue_depths, among others.
-- New --fibmap flag, to dump out the extent list for a specified file. New --fibmap-sector flag, to dump out the absolute LBA of a specific sector of a file. These can be quite useful for determining suitable LBA values for fault-injection.
Cheers
