I regret that there haven't been any plan yet to patch the OpenSuse kernel with hdaps : http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/HDAPS Unless I compile the kernel by myself, there is no easy way to get hard drive protection on such machines. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It seems that this patch is included in the mainline 2.6.28 kernel.
Do you have a pointer to the git commit id in the 2.6.28 kernel that adds this feature?
So, I don't think this is so intrusive.
It all depends on what the patch does. The one that you pointed to above was intrusive to core code that all users run on their hardware, even ones without this feature on their hardware, so it can be seen as very intrusive to them.
It is useless to buy a good laptop, even one from a brand supporting Novell.

I can't provide you with this info as I am not a kernel developper, but there are a few links : The discussion prior to the inclusion : https://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2008/8/29/3132444 The documentation of the patch : http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.6/28/Documentation/laptops/disk-shock-prote...

Some Lenovo Thinkpads are provided with SLED, right ? ALL Thinkpads have the disk protection feature. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
