Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hdparm
/etc/hdparm is parsed by /lib/udev/hdparm. This simple script looks for
a specific section: command_line, and runs each line in turn. It's quite
hacky. The comments even say so. That's fine.
The command lines run in command_line should have environment variables
evaluated. They don't. This would make it easy to access $DEVNAME to
figure out what device is being altered, in case a custom hdparm command
was being made for it.
The fix is simple:/lib/udev/hdparm should have line 250 altered from:
$KEY $SEP $VALUE
to
eval $KEY $SEP $VALUE
This just results in the string stored in $KEY being evaluated, and
variables in it being expanded. Seems to work okay for me.
