This is what the device names are:

hda: FUJITSU MPE3064AT, ATA DISK drive
hdb: WDC AC32500H, ATA DISK drive

here's what they are with hdparm:

dev/hda:

Model=UFIJST UPM3E60A4 T , FwRev=DE0--380,
SerialNo= 50256499

/dev/hdb:

Model=DW CCA2305H0 , FwRev=210.H721,
SerialNo=DWW-3T06418895 2

hehe, might wanna fix that ;-)

Shawn.

This is correct behaviour.
You want hdparm -i not hdparm -I which reads info from the drive without doing endian changes.

Oh, I never noticed that though. Yes, -i does display it correctly.

In reply to Shawn Starr

-I is what is read directly off the drive, -i interprets it. IIRC, it's been this way for a while..or it's just that I've used 2.4 for a while :) In any case, it's byte swap issue. WD becomes "WDC AC" would become "DW CCA" , i.e. "WD", "C ", and "AC" etc.
