Subject: Better support for Serial ATA Hard Discs.
Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2004 17:00:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4120DA0F.4060506@superbug.demon.co.uk> (raw)
I have a SATA HD, and my motherboard can talk to it using PATA or SATA.
Using PATA, the SATA HD appears to linux as an IDE HD. So I can use
hdparm on it, and therefore set sleep/power down times. e.g. hdparm -S60
/dev/hda
Using SATA, the SATA HD appears to linux as a SCSI HD. I can use hdparm
on it, but it is limited. e.g. hdparm -S60 /dev/sda <- Will not work.
I am using linux kernel 2.6.8.
Should I be using some different tool for setting sleep/power down times
when using the SATA HD in SATA mode?
I would also like to get hddtemp to work with SATA HDs as well.
Can anyone advise me on what to do next?
James
