hdparm settings, do they persist after reboots? hd performance
Just curious how this program accomplishes its changes and whether the program has to run at boottime to have the setting take effect? does it belong in an rc script? -walter

Just curious how this program accomplishes its changes and whether the program has to run at boottime to have the setting take effect? does it belong in an rc script? Settings like dma do not persist between reboots. You need to either compile it into your kernel or add it to a startup script. I made my own and linked it to /etc/rc2.d/S90hdparm. I don't know of a generic startup script you can add it to, like RH's rc.local, but it wouldn't be the first time something exists, that I don't know of. :

They are not persistant after a reboot. IIRC, there is no startup script for hdparm, however; the hwtools package includes a hdparm section in it's startup script. Otherwise copy the /etc/init.d/skeleton and build your own. HTH, Brooks

You could either put it into /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh or apt-get install hwtools, which has a hdparm section in /etc/init.d/hwtools. -Andre pgpGtRwZpdlSs.pgp Description: PGP signature
hdparm settings
Hi all i have set a few hdparm settings to tune up my ide drive.. i however do not know how to make those settings permanent as setting switch -k1 does not seem to work. Should i just set the settings everytime my machine is rebooted in an init script or something?? thanx
Re: hdparm settings
Thats the idea. Make a small script in init.d directory and link from runlevel /etc/rc*.d to it.

To make hdparm settings permanent, write a little shell script, put it in /etc/init.d and use update-rc.d to have it symlinked to the correct places in the /etc/rc.* directories. You'll want to check out the man page for update-rc.d first, if you haven't used it before. An example: # update-rc.d -n hdparm defaults This will show you what changes it's going to make, assuming your script in init.d is called 'hdparm'. If it the settings look good, remove the '-n' and run again to actually make the links. -- [ Matthew Gregan ] [ GPG ID: B63A1E95 ] [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ GPG fingerprint:FB83 2911 F170 B31C 9E4A E382 CA8A A2F6 B63A 1E95 ] pgpGRMmxLKhYG.pgp Description: PGP signature
