Yes, /etc/sysconfig/harddisks is the usual place to put those settings -
remember to copy harddisks to /etc/sysconfig as harddiskshda or harddiskhdb
or whatever your setup requires. "hdparm" needs to be installed as well.
After you have everything going, as root, "hdparm /dev/hda" (or whatever
device you're wanting to check" will show you what settings are in effect.
Do a "man hdparm" for the various options but probably the most used are:
hdparm /dev/hda (fill in your device)
hdparm -i /dev/hda
hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
Hope this helps! :-)
