Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
The kernel has the hdaps module, but it does not support parking the disk heads when a shock is detected.
Here's a patch for 2.6.22: http://
Patches for 2.6.22.9 and 2.6.23: http://
Without this patch, the hdapsd package is completely useless.
I forgot to mention that the tools to utilise this patch are already in the apt repositories (packages hdapsd, hdaps-utils), so it would only make sense to include this patch.
