About a month ago I run a cross a post in forums showing the way to run something like 'hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda' upon boot by simply setting some parameter in YaST.

Foolishly enough I managed to loose the post and I do not remember it in details. I googled for over an hour now and I cannot come across it any more.

Anybody can make a suggestion here, please?

Are you looking for the functionality of storage-fixup:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/storage-fixup

If so, it is available for versions of openSUSE as far as I know. (zypper in storage-fixup)

You may need to edit the config file to add your drive info to the database of drives.

Yes, basically I do need to set my HDD Advanced Power Management value to 254 and to make it persistent through reboot. However, I saw a much simpler and effective solution than that. There are other ways actually to do it, e.g. using systemd utils. But I saw a really nice and simple solution just by setting it in YaST, as I stated, and I would prefer it to any other solution I've seen suggested so far. I can stop blaming myself for loosing that link. :-( Thanks anyway. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
