Here's my entry in the "new hdparm rc script" category.  This one addresses the
issues raised in several open bugs:

GOALS
-----
1. handle both devfs and non-devfs systems (bug #35273)
2. handle systems without discs or cdroms (bug #20816)
3. handle ide-scsi devices (bug #35458)
4. don't mistakenly run hdparm on non-ide devices (bug #16848)

It also tries to be clean and efficient.

This script is compatible with the extant /etc/conf.d/hdparm, but introduces
some new variables.  The first are hdX_args, which are required for non-devfs
systems and which, if defined, override discX_args and cdromX_args on devfs
systems.  The second are genericX_args, which apply to the generic (e.g.,
ide-scsi) devices.

The script is commented with a description of its method of operation.


Reproducible: Always

cdromX_args

new version

changed depend() so it runs before bootmisc instead of before * .. this seems
to be as early as possible with the gentoo init system and avoids annoying
"circular dependency with checkroot" warnings

cleaned up a little

finally added in hdparm-5.5-r1 with small cleanups:

- added udev support
- remove empty lines at the end
- changed all [[ to [
