If your drive sounds funny on shutdown, it could. Your drive is supposed to sound the same way it sounds when you execute "hdparm -y /dev/sdX". > - How can I help to fix this warning? I believe there's already update out but you can edit some configuration file (can't remember which ATM) such that "-h" option is not passed to halt. Google should be able to tell you which file it is. -- tejun - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
