Re: DMA for DVD drive

[Pete]

Hi Douglas,

I used:
hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc
to enable DMA for my DVD drive. This was successful.
How do I make this permanent? Running Ubuntu.

Under slackware I would issue this command once:

echo "hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

I'm not sure how the Ubuntu startup scripts execute - is there the  
equivalent to a 'rc.local' file you could add it to?

Regards,
Pete
