I got the following: sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/hda /dev/hda: setting Advanced Power Management level to disabled HDIO_DRIVE_CMD failed: Input/output error Should I be worried? This is a desktop system. Is this limited to laptops? |

OK, I know this is a stupid question, but I always start with the basics. Do you have a /dev/hda? Is it possible that your HD is /dev/sda? |

bryan@ubuntu:~$ mount
/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/sda2 on /media/sda2 type ext3 (rw,noatime) bryan@ubuntu:~$ sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/hda /dev/hda: setting Advanced Power Management level to disabled HDIO_DRIVE_CMD failed: Input/output error bryan@ubuntu:~$ sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda /dev/sda: setting Advanced Power Management level to disabled HDIO_DRIVE_CMD failed: Input/output error While it was entirely possible that there was no hda because I don't think I checked, evidently, there is. So, no, that was not a stupid question. (I clipped most of the message from the mount command. My varlock mount or whatever isn't really important.) |

Quoting:Man pagesI guess the key phrase is "if the drive supports it." Well, does it? Quoting:DESCRIPTION hdparm provides a command line interface to various hard disk ioctls supported by the Linux SATA/PATA/SAS "libata" subsystem and the older IDE driver subsystem. Some options may work correctly only with the latest kernels. The key phrase here is "Some options may work correctly only with the latest kernels" |
