Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hdparm
Ubuntu 9.10 32bit.
hdparm v 9.15
I have an optical drive that I use in a media player PC. This drive is
connected to the ATA ribbon cable in the system, NOT to a SATA port.
When playing audio cd's or video dvd's it is very loud, as it tries to
spin up to full speed (52X or whatever).
On previous versions of Ubuntu, I could use hdparm to tune this. It
seems when we ditched /dev/hdx for /dev/sdx and /dev/sr0 we lost this
capability:
# hdparm -E 1 /dev/dvd
/dev/dvd:
setting cdrom speed to 1
setting dvd streaming speed to 1
dvd speed setting failed: Input/output error
No matter what number I send in, this is the error.
I did about 90 minutes of googling and reading, and I can't find any
explanation or hints. There has been suggestion for sdparm, but it
doesn't seem to have these parameters.
Thanks
