** Description changed:
- In 10.04, changing /etc/hdparm.conf has no effect. I used to tame the hard
disk of my netbook in 9.10 by adding the following lines to /etc/hdparm.conf,
in order to stop the constant clicking:
+ 'hdparm' doesn't come with an init script anymore, and the udev script
+ doesn't use all the documented sections in 'hdparm.conf'. More
+ specifically, the 'command_line' doesn't get used anymore. As a result
+ of this change, people get into trouble after an upgrade, or when they
+ try to use documented features.
+
+ This new behaviour is not documented in the release notes, and the
+ manpage & the comments in the default hdparm.conf file still document
+ the old behaviour.
+
+ Either this is a regression, or the new behaviour needs to be
+ documented...

+ In 10.04, changing /etc/hdparm.conf has no effect. I used to tame the hard
disk of my netbook in 9.10 by adding the following lines to /etc/hdparm.conf,
in order to stop the constant clicking:
command_line {
- hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
+ hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
}
In 10.04 this has no effect. After each boot I have to issue manually the
terminal command:
sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
