Re: [Cooker] rc.local misused on Mandrake

RE: [Cooker] rc.local misused on Mandrake
Please, read cooker thread with subject Sorry but i don't get the problem, The problem is that with devfs no IDE device node for ide-scsi's devices is created so you cannot use hdparm to turn DMA off. you can put also this setting in /etc/sysctl.conf. Which variable exactly? /proc/ide is outside of /proc/sys and there nothing in /proc/sys that controls DMA. -andrej
