Use the /proc interface:
/proc/ide/hd[a-d]/settings
To set DMA (for example):
echo "using_dma:1" > /proc/ide/hdc/settings
I do:
echo "using_dma:1" > /proc/ide/hdc/settings echo "io_32bit:1" > /proc/ide/hdc/settings echo "unmaskirq:1" > /proc/ide/hdc/settings echo "keepsettings:1" > /proc/ide/hdc/settings
in /etc/conf.d/local.start.
Thanking you good sir.
May I then assume, that hdparm is essentially unnecessary, aside from changing the DMA mode and changing power saving settings? (and getting a nice concise list of info about a drive)
Cheers, MAL
