[Bug 1095361] [NEW] hdparm is 2 years old and uses old depricated IDE API for ATA Security commands

[Dmitry Kasatkin]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

hdparm is 2 years old on Ubuntu 12.10: 9.37-0ubuntu4
It uses old depricated IDE API for ATA Security security which is not evailable anymore in latest Ubuntu kernels.

Following commands does not work:

hdparm --security-set-pass
hdparm --security-unlock
hdparm --security-disable

For example:
hdparm --security-disable xxx /dev/sdb
----------
security_password="xxx"

/dev/sdb:
 Issuing SECURITY_DISABLE command, password="xxx", user=user


The running kernel lacks CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL support for this device.
SECURITY_UNLOCK: Invalid argument
---------------

Please update the package from latest source
https://sourceforge.net/projects/hdparm/files/hdparm/
