This will be obsolate = by recent SATA drives, but PATA is still in use :) I've though of the possibility of adding an "atamodetab" rc script, with wh= ich the administrator could specify the disk modes to set on startup. I've already got a sketch for this script that I use, but I'd like to ask, = does it worth the effort working on it a bit more, and adding it to the core OS?= I think this would be a quite useful feature to have. -- Sincerely, Gergely CZUCZY Harmless Digital Bt Tel. +36-30-9702963 Email: gergely.czuczy@harmless.hu --Sig_/nSD8oSvMITKceXn=p0WxPRF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFINs0TzrC0WyuMkpsRApZvAJ9yg3Hx4NihYFxH7iTdRgT1WI6V8ACgk7wB U9544KhJP88o0jYiW0UytXs= =V92b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/nSD8oSvMITKceXn=p0WxPRF--
