Hi,

I'm having a problem with /etc/sysconfig/harddisks on my RH7.1 machine.
First, I'll point out that the documentation on redhat.com isn't as
detailed as the documentation within the harddisks file.

So to get down to it, I have copied harddisks to harddiskhda and
harddiskhdc.  Then I edited these two files appropriately. One of the
parameters inside this file is EXTRA_PARAMS.  Presumably if the
other settings don't cover everything you need, you put them in
EXTRA_PARAMS. 

There were two extra settings I added: -X66 and -u1.  So my EXTRA_PARAMS
looks like this:
EXTRA_PARAMS=-X66 -u1

When I reboot, rc.sysinint processes my harddiskhda and harddiskhdc just
fine up until the EXTRA_PARAMS.  When it gets there, it will read in the
first value (-X66) but it is apparently passing the second value (-u1).
In /var/log/messages I see some griping about not knowing what to do
with the -u1.

Well, I'd like to use -u1 and I'd like to go by the book and use the
/etc/sysconfig/harddisks files, so I need to know how to get this to work.   
I think I could just put "hdparm -u1 blah" in my rc.local but that
wouldn't be as much fun.

Also, does anyone know if hdparm's "-k" option is implied when I use
/etc/sysconfig/harddisks?

Thanks,
Derek
