Re: hdparm

Please file bug against #87451 with patch.  (See previous patch
proposals including mine too.)

If your script can take care well.

I think /etc/hdparm is better named /etc/hdparm.conf

Also make sure to provide ample comments for warnings etc in the file.

Good design.  Do you have /etc/init.d/hdparm.sh (Yes not
/etc/init.d/hdparm see my comment in the other thread.)
