Hello Cesare, In machine1 hdparm is not currently installed, but it was 1 year ago when the machine1 had woody installed. I suppose hdparm does not change anything to the disk itself but only to the ide modules of the kernel?
In machine2, hdparm is installed, but I do not remember to have changed anything to the configuration of it (the log file I was maintaining for machine2 was lost during the disk crash). Do I have to check something or simply uninstall it? Thanks for your reply, Juan.
