Hi together, 

i tried to setup a new amanda server but the hdd makes problems. It's not 
possible for me to activate the DMA-Mode. 


Hdparm –d1 /dev/hda 

/dev/hda:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
 using_dma    =  0 (off)


dmesg | grep had

hda: ST340015A, ATA DISK drive
hda: host protected area => 1
hda: 78165360 sectors (40021 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=4865/255/63
 hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 >
hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } ← ??????
hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } ← ??????
