Subject: hdparm: wiper.sh is not packaged Package: hdparm Version: 9.27-1 Severity: wishlist
The hdparm-upstream contains a script named whiper.sh (in wiper-2.5/) that is for tuning up SATA SSDs (Solid-State-Drives). It calculates a list of free (unallocated) blocks within a filesystem, and informs the SSD firmware of those blocks, so that it can better manage the underlying media for wear-leveling and garbage-collection purposes. This script is not packaged by the debian-hdparm-package, but should be. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages hdparm depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip hdparm recommends no packages.
