[PlanetCCRMA] FC5 - No more /etc/sysconfig/harddisks ?

[Len]

Hi,

I recently upgraded to Fedora Core 5 (from FC1), and was starting to configure my hard disks
according to the advice given on the 'Installing Planet CCRMA on Fedora Core 5'.  On that page,
under 'Tuning the Hard Disks', it says, "Once you are satisfied ... you can change the
/etc/sysconfig/harddisks configuration file ... ".

I don't have a 'harddisks' configuration file, so I went googling to see if I needed to create one
from scratch.  I found that, apparently since FC4, that file is no longer used (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=157673).

This guy says he configures his hdparm settings in rc.local.  
http://www.math.dartmouth.edu/~ahb/laptop_setup/i8100_FC4_setup.html

I tried it (adding the line '/sbin/hdparm -c3 /dev/hda' to rc.local) and it seems to work.

Hope this helps.

Len
