In case hdparm and udev really don't mix together, I
won't reinstall hdparm anymore (but if that's the case
udev should be marked as conflicting with hdparm, or
hdparm with udev, or so)
I just want hdparm for efficient hard-disc usage (as I
originally installed it as it could enable DMA and
other hard disc settings, that normally would remain
disabled)
Though perhaps nowadays this is just configured in the
kernel automatically?
