Bug Description

Binary package hint: hdparm

Per upstream changelog:

hdparm-9.35
        - third go at fixing cdb issues, fixing -B flag. Got it this time (finally).
hdparm-9.34
        - fix bad/missing cdb transfer length field for IDENTIFY and some other commands

we've seen issues with 'hdparm -B254' crashing FW on some SSDs due to the malformed IDENTIFY command it sends; hdparm 9.37 fixes that for us. Similarly I think problems like bug #548513 would probably be fixed by updating too.

Please update hdparm to at least 9.35... (9.37 is the latest upstream)

Here's an updated package that works with upstream version 9.37 (upstream source available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/hdparm/files/hdparm/hdparm-9.37.tar.gz/download). There are no changes required to the packaging; everything builds and works fine on my system with this package, and the complete interdiff shows that I only touched the changelog to add the new version number:

Thanks a lot for your work on this Roland. I took the liberty of changing "9.37-1ubuntu1" to "9.37-0ubuntu1" (-1ubuntu1 would indicate that we had merged 9.37-1 from Debian, which unfortunately does not exist yet.
