Package: hw-detect Severity: normal AFAICS, hdparm is only installed via the laptop task, which pulls in acpi-support, which depends on hdparm. But there is need for hdparm on many other systems.
For example, I installed onto a Qnap TS-109 NAS, and didn't get hdparm. I initially installed to a USB drive, as my SATA drive hadn't arrived yet, but AFAICS I would not have gotten hdparm with SATA either. Of course, hdparm has many uses on such a NAS, including configuring the drive to spin down when not in use. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- see shy jo
