Re: hdparm, hard drive howto, tutorial

[Naitik Shah <naitik@flashmail.com>]

I've got a script in /etc/ini.d with this in it,

case "$1" in
	start)
		echo -n "Optimizing /dev/hda performance: "
		hdparm -d1 -q -m16 -u1 -k1 -K1 /dev/hda > /dev/null
		echo "hdparm"

	*)
		;;
esac

My options are hardcoded into the script, I've got it running on boot. Works 
like a charm. You might not want to use the same parameters as me though!
