When I boot my system, the hdparm service sometimes (it seems randomly) doesn't work properly: it print on the screen "Running hdparm on /dev/hda" and it remains blocked indefinitely and I'm not able to login. do_hdparm() { if [[ ${args:=$all_args} ]] ; then local orgdevice=$(readlink -f ${device}) if [[ -b ${orgdevice} ]] ; then ebegin "Running hdparm on ${device}" -> IT REMAINS BLOCKED INDEFINITELY running hdparm hdparm ${args} ${device} > /dev/null eend $? fi fi With previous versions of hdparm it have always worked properly.
