Package: hdparm
Version: 5.9-2
Severity: important

After recent changes, I noticed a performance loss - traceable to
the ROOTFS updates.

With these changes, everyone with more than one disk is required to
create a symlink - or only the boot devices gets altered.

It doesn't look difficult to bypass the ROOTFS checking (and subsequent
continues) if [-z "$ROOTFS"]

If that is done, I can have hdparm setup all my ide drives, and those
who want a split setup can define ROOTFS non-null and create their link.
