Change the above section so it looks like this:

# hdparm optimization
# Switches on interrupts during transfers and does multi sector transfers
if command -v hdparm >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  hdparm -q -d1 -c1 /dev/hdc
  hdparm -q -d1 -c1 /dev/hda
  true
fi


However, run these commands manually first, so that if something goes 
wrong with the command, you won't wind up in a reboot/lockup/whatever loop.
