This is different. It's setting an approved config file, for Red Hat init scripts to parse, and set hdparm options. It is not using hdparm directly on the disk. Some hdparm settings you can use, w/ little fear of data corruption. Some you can't. This is most likely what Arjan was referring to. Arjan's statements were pretty vague, so take them as that unless he clarifies a bit. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
