hdparm is to IDE type devices as sdparm is to SCSI devices. I know that Linux sees SATA devices as /dev/sd*, I also know that you need to build your kernel with SCSI support if you plan on using any kind of SATA device, does this mean that you would have to sdparm for SATA devices? I really don't want to loose my hard drive experimenting, perhaps someone knows, if not then I will experiment. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
