Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hdparm
Setting hard drive parameters in /etc/hdparm.conf finally seems to work since
Ubuntu 10.10, if (and only if) you specify the drives like /dev/sda, /dev/sdb,
.... . Since the /dev tree is build dynamically by udev, you can't be sure,
that the parameters specified this way are applied to the correct hd. However
it is would be safe to use the correspondent symlinks in /dev/disk/by-uuid or
/dev/disk/by-id to define your hd.
A partial fix was given in #222458. But since then the hdparm script files have
changed and it worked only with symlinks to the drive itself and not with
symlinks to its partitions (like in /dev/disk/by-uuid).
I attach a patch based on #222458, which should fix the above described
problems for 10.10 and 11.04.
