Hello all, I recently took over hdparm when it was orphaned, and as I was looking it over, I decided to finally add the init script that had multiple wishlist bugs open as I wanted the feature anyway. I wrote up something I'm happy with as far as the script itself goes (although more review would always be welcome if anyone wants to look - it's in the archive now). My reason for writing in is that I am trying to figure out where in the boot order to place it - I have taken the 'defaults' for now, as that doesn't really harm anything. I would like to move it earlier in the boot sequence, but still leave wiggle room if an admin screws up. This means moving it to the very beginning of entering a runlevel (rc2-5.d/S10 or so). It makes the most sense to me to have it right after mountall, but that leaves no room in case of error, and I'm not happy with that - this program has too much potential to do real harm. Do my ideas seem reasonable, or should I say 'the admin really should know better, I am going to place it where it actually does the most good' - which would be rcS/S41 or so - ? I prefer to protect users from potential harm where possible, but I am looking for others opinions on this. Thanks, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
