Comment 8 for bug 222458

I've just been trying to determine where, during the boot cycle, /lib/udev/hdparm is being called for the permanently attached disks. While I can see the devices in /var/log/udev, I don't think that the /lib/udev/hdparm script is run correctly, or maybe it's called too early in the boot process. It's hard to tell, because there STILL is no boot.log.

I think the script is called during boot before the file systems have been mounted, and therefore /sbin/hdparm isn't even there yet. I'm beginning to think that this is not the right place to try to call hdparm for the permanent disks.

I'll probably just add a script to init.d that calls hdparm explicitly, and give up on this.
