hdparms fails to secure erase SSD
I'm trying to secure erase a SATA SSD using hdparm and it fails like this:
# hdparm --user-master u --security-set-pass foo /dev/sda
security_password: "foo"
/dev/sda:
Issuing SECURITY_SET_PASS command, password="foo", user=user, mode=high
The running kernel lacks CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL support for this device.
SECURITY_SET_PASS: Invalid argument
I'm running RHEL 7.7 (3.10.0-1062.1.1.el7.x86_64)
The SSD is connected to a MegaRAID 9361 running in JBOD mode. I don't understand the "IDE" part of the error since this is SATA. I have done this successfully with the same hardware on older versions of CentOS.
