@Jerone Take a closer look at your patch, we don't want to disable hdparm as a whole from running, we just want to be able to "opt out" of this global APM config, which you can't do without editing the function file /lib/hdparm/hdparm-functions. A good compromise would be to add smarts to the config file parser which allows one to disable the global apm policy. It could be as simple as setting apm = skip and then dropping it completely from the argument list. hdparm is a very necessarily utility for things like disabling the cache and other things.
Your approach would leave the above average user scratching his head because they would make changes in /etc/hdparm.conf and it just wouldn't happen ever. -- Some firewire & usb disks not working under 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548513 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
