This sounds like an excellent idea, but when I run apt-get I get a segfault: Setting up noflushd (2.4-2) ... Starting No Flush Daemon: BUG at disk_info.c line 169: Unable to determine device dir at /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc /etc/init.d/noflushd: line 47: 1018 Segmentation fault start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid --exec $DAEMON -- $PARAMS noflushd. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks, jas.
