One thing seems interesting about the log below.... why does it say 65530/15/61 ??? Linux thinks the logical geometry is 4982/255/63 (which is correct) but maybe the drive thinks it is 65531/16/63
Yes, it does. (With jumper.)
[So these error messages come precisely at the end of the truncated disk. But it seems that you are using CHS, not LBA addressing:
hda: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, CHS=65530/15/61, sector=48737112
and with CHS and 65531/16/63 it is clear that you cannot get beyond 66055248 sectors. Why are you using CHS?]
["Linux thinks the logical geometry is 4982/255/63" Note that this logical geometry is entirely irrelevant. It is not used for I/O.]
["CurSects=-66060037" - that is a misinterpretation. This number is FC1000FB, but both shorts were interchanged and the correct number is 00FBFC10, which is 16514064. A flaw in hdparm, I suppose.]
