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.
tip#1 when playing/experimenting with hdparm, do it on a system you do NOT care about fi you lose data or that the disk is rendered useless scrap metal the other script posted
Naitik> hdparm -d1 -q -m16 -u1 -k1 -K1 /dev/hda
you can play with -c3 too
