+ help
+ This setting is irrelevant for most IDE disks, with direct memory
+ access, to which multiple sector mode does not apply. Multiple sector
+ mode is a feature of most modern IDE hard drives, permitting the
+ transfer of multiple sectors per Programmed Input/Output interrupt,
+ rather than the usual one sector per interrupt. When this feature is
+ enabled, it can reduce operating system overhead for disk Programmed
+ Input/Output. On some systems, it also can increase the data
+ throughput of Programmed Input/Output. Some drives, however, seemed
+ to run slower with multiple sector mode enabled. Some drives claimed
+ to support multiple sector mode, but lost data at some settings.
+ Under rare circumstances, such failures could result in massive
+ filesystem corruption.

hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

- There are unclear terms in ATA-4 and ATA-5 standards how certain
- hardware (an 80c ribbon) should be detected. Different interpretations
- of the standards have been released in hardware. This causes problems:
- for example, a host with Ultra Mode 4 (or higher) will not run
- in that mode with an 80c ribbon.

- If you are experiencing compatibility or performance problems, you
- MAY try to answer Y here. However, it does not necessarily solve
- any of your problems, it could even cause more of them.

- It is normally safe to answer Y; however, the default is N.
