Hello, After the recent udev + hdparm problems, I'm thinking of reconfiguring hdparm (hdparm currently is not configured, just reinstalled, so I'm assuming it's currently using default settings)
This is the output of `hdparm -v -i /dev/hda`: /dev/hda: multcount = 0 (off) IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 0 (off) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 78165360, start = 0 Model=IC35L040AVER07-0, FwRev=ER4OA46A, SerialNo=SXPTX283824 Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs } RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=40 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=1916kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=off CurCHS=4047/16/255, CurSects=16511760, LBA=yes, LBAsects=78165360 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120} PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5 udma3 udma4 *udma5 AdvancedPM=yes: disabled (255) WriteCache=enabled Drive conforms to: ATA/ATAPI-5 T13 1321D revision 1: ATA/ATAPI-2 ATA/ATAPI-3 ATA/ATAPI-4 ATA/ATAPI-5 * signifies the current active mode /dev/hdb: multcount = 0 (off) IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 0 (off) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 80293248, start = 0 Model=Maxtor 2F040J0, FwRev=VAM51JJ0, SerialNo=F10SPCNE Config={ Fixed } RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=57 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=2048kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=off CurCHS=4047/16/255, CurSects=16511760, LBA=yes, LBAsects=80293248 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120} PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5 udma3 udma4 udma5 *udma6 AdvancedPM=yes: disabled (255) WriteCache=enabled Drive conforms to: ATA/ATAPI-7 T13 1532D revision 0: ATA/ATAPI-1 ATA/ATAPI-2 ATA/ATAPI-3 ATA/ATAPI-4 ATA/ATAPI-5 ATA/ATAPI-6 ATA/ATAPI-7 * signifies the current active mode Could someone tell me what settings are appropiate for my hard discs?
