Default-Start should really only be S, except that if a device node is created by udev or something later, it will run again for that device node. I do not know if that makes a difference in this setup, though. Also, it seems that hdparm should start after udev and/or coldplug has created the real device node for the root fs, if they are present. So, from my reading of things, this gives us: ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: hdparm # Required-Start: mountvirtfs # Should-Start: udev coldplug # Required-Stop: # Default-Start: S # Default-Stop: 0 6 ### END INIT INFO Does that look right to you? Does coldplug even use an init script (I don't know, having given up on md maintained packages for now)?
