Feature changed by: Richard Colvin (allianux) Feature #310041, revision 3 Title: HP 3D GuardDrive openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Dimitar Popov (dimitar_popov) Description: I wish openSUSE to supply a daemon, which uses the /dev/freefall to provide hard disk head crash protection. There is an example application in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/hwmon/hpfall.c which might be used as a base for such a daemon and the needed modules (hp_accel and lis3lv02d) are present in kernel 2.6.31. I think this is an important feature for HP laptop users. + Discussion: + #1: Richard Colvin (allianux) (2010-09-17 17:06:17) + I assumed the HP 3D driveguard was setup during the + install process?  If not then I see this feature as a necessity for HP + laptop users. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310041
