Re: [opensuse-project] openSUSE 11.3, disk expert needed (SSD + hdparm/wiper.sh error: /usr/sbin/rdev needed but not found)

As far as I understand rdev is only needed to tell which is the root
device "/". If it's safe to extract this info from /etc/mtab I would
suggest to get it there.
Diff for /sbin/wiper.sh in hdparm 9.36:
261,262d260
< elif [ "$RDEV" == "" -a `$GAWK '{if ($2 ~ /^\/$/) print $1}'
/etc/mtab` != "" ]; then
< rootdev=`$GAWK '{if ($2 ~ /^\/$/) print $1}' /etc/mtab` ## openSUSE
This enables me to do a dry-run of wiper.sh on openSUSE 11.3 (didn't
try with --commit).

Mark,
I just got a problem report about wiper.sh needing /usr/sbin/rdev.
That seems to have been deprecated for a while. Googling
"usr/sbin/rdev" I see the same issue raised for several distros.
Are you working on a hdparm update / patch to address that?
Thanks
Greg
