Bug Description
I'm running Breezy on my system (updated today) and I've noticed that the
harddisk LED is always on / in use, also if there is no activity on the harddisk
at all.
System is a Shuttle XPC SB95P with Intel i925X and ICH6R/ICH6RW SATA Controller
with a Maxtor SATA disk.
I can use the disk (root partition is on the disk) but hdparm gives me an error:
fbn@paul:~$ mount
/dev/sda5 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=
fbn@paul:~$ hdparm -i /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
It's the only harddisk available for this system so I can not test another one.
