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.
Yes, you should be able to do that with sysconfig/ide:DEVICES_FORCE_IDE_DMA which YaST manipulates. I'm not sure which YaST module, presumably something hardware related. You could probably also just edit that config file. The script that does the work is "/usr/lib/udev/idedma.sh" : # The setting e.g. "/dev/hda:69:-c1:-m16:-u1:-W1:-A1" should be # expanded as "hdparm -d 1 -X 69 -c1 -m16 -u1 -W1 -A1 /dev/hda" I haven't tried it, but it sounds like you might just need this: DEVICES_FORCE_IDE_DMA="/dev/sda::-B254" However, that script is apparently only applied for /dev/hdx devices: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/56-idedma.rules -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-2.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
