Does anyone know of a good tutorial, or howto on hard drives? I would like to understand a little better this part of the hardware before playing with hdparm. Some hdparm bash script examples would be also welcome.


Here is my script:

ken@pingu:~$ cat /etc/init.d/hdparm
#!/bin/bash

DRIVES="hda hdb"
SETTINGS="-d 1 -m 16 -c 1 -a 1 -q -u 1 -W 1"


case "$1" in
       start|restart)
               for dev in $DRIVES; do
                       hdparm $SETTINGS /dev/$dev
               done
       ;;

       stop)
       ;;

esac
