I'm currently working on the HPA/DCO code and have come across an issue with hdparm incorrectly parsing the sense data when it tries to calculate the real max sectors, this bug exists in v9.60 and has since been fixed in v9.65 however I don't know exactly which version it was fixed in, irrespective nwipe will need to cope with this bug if it's run on a LTS distro in particular that's running older versions of hdparm.
So I plan on parsing the sense data myself when the real max sectors don't make any sense.
However the largest drive I have for testing is 2TB and I need some sense data from a 10TB or greater drive to make sure I decode the size correctly.
If somebody could run the following command on a drive that is larger than 10TB and post the output here that would be appreciated.
The command is
sudo hdparm --verbose --dco-identify /dev/sdxxxx
Thanks
