Hi; I was reading some my Linux references, and came upon the following statement: /sbin/hdparm -c -d1 dev/hda10 Obviously this turns on the 32-bit access and DMA for hda10. I know my hardware is capable of this. The article also stated that this can be put in /etc /rc.d/rc.sysinit, so that it takes effect on every boot. I looked at the above file for the first time. as little as I understand about Linux, I can still tell that this file does a lot things. My question: Is there a preferred place to insert this statement, i.e. beginning, end, middle? Any other pitfalls to look out for? Thanks for all suggestions.
