Re: DMA for DVD drive

[Douglas Royds]

From the Ubuntu wiki:

In order for the settings to be automatically applied at boot there you 
need to edit the /etc/hdparm.conf script. Add the following to the end 
of your hdparm.conf

/dev/hdc {
dma = on
}

I'll try this.

yes, but there is also a specific hdparm startup script (or so I gather
from the other replies)

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
