This is as planned, as you found out. > My raid would take around one day to sync without dma set and dma is not > set after sync. Of course the raid could be out of sync because of dma > problems but there should be an option to bypass this test. Also I > could not find any documentation about this feature. /usr/share/doc/hdparm/README.Debian mentions why hdparm does not run it's init script if the array is rebuilding. I do not use software raid myself, so I am relying on reports from others. I can add an environment variable to override these checks if you like - that way it won't run from init and blow up anyone's system non-interactively, but it would allow you to run it after boot up if you really wanted to. Would that satisfy? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
