xerxes root # hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 1 (on) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 8 (on) geometry = 14946/255/63, sectors = 240121728, start = 0 Yet I'm still getting the same messages after a reboot. The keepsettings flag also gets reset to 0 after a reboot. A very useful flag, if you ask me. :P > Dane, > > If you read the man page for hdparm, you may find an option about how to > make the parameters 'stick' to the disk in question.
