Bug#354654: general: fat32 gets corrupted

[Juan Piñeros <pinerosgarcet@yahoo.fr>]

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.
