It may or may not have anything to do with what you experienced, but hdparm messed up my hard drive (twice). It seemed to be fine for a while, but a while later, strange things started happening, and an fsck gave boatloads of errors. (After a clean shutdown.) I don't remember exactly what parameters I was giving it, but I'm pretty sure they were different from what you're giving it. But they were all supposed to be "safe" parameters. Backup often if you want to play with hdparm. - -- Hubert Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.geocities.com/hubertchan/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/71FDA37F Fingerprint: 6CC5 822D 2E55 494C 81DD 6F2C 6518 54DF 71FD A37F Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
