In Gutsy there's no init script anymore, but /lib/udev/hdparm instead, which gets called through udev for hd[a-z] devices. It still calls "flush": /sbin/hdparm -q -f $DISC 2>/dev/null || ret=$?
However, hdparm does not appear to return an error in this case anymore: $ sudo hdparm -q -f /dev/hdd && echo $? BLKFLSBUF failed: Function not implemented 0 I guess, this problem has been solved then. Can you confirm this? You may wand to try the above command on your system and see if it echos 0 or something != 0. Which Ubuntu version are/were you using? ** Changed in: hdparm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- hdparm init.d script error for CD drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90559 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
