Very Computer

I get the following error when I try to run hdparm with the -t option.

bash# hdparm -t /dev/sda
could not allocate sharedmem buf: Function not implemented

I also get this error with default options.

bash# hdparm /dev/sda
 BLKRAGET failed: Invalid argument
 BLKROGET failed: Invalid argument
 geometry     = 813/6/34, sectors = 165850, start = 0

Anybody know what the two means?  What do I need to do to make it
work properly?

Thanks for any help.

I thought it was only written for (E-)IDE systems. Never tried it on
SCSI though.
