This sounds like an excellent idea, but when I run apt-get I get a
segfault: 

Setting up noflushd (2.4-2) ...
Starting No Flush Daemon: BUG at disk_info.c line 169: Unable to determine device dir at /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
/etc/init.d/noflushd: line 47:  1018 Segmentation fault      start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid --exec $DAEMON -- $PARAMS
noflushd.


Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks,
