Comment 2 for bug 574462

At this point I'd appreciate some input from the kernel team what this message actually means, and what the likely cause could be. It does not really seem specific to either hdparm nor libatasmart, all they do is things like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/libatasmart/+bug/445852/comments/202 (i. e. using the normal SCSI ioctls).

One possible workaround might be to not run hdparm on SSD devices. This only might fix the symptom, but it might be an appropriate SRU for lucid.
