in IBM-acpi 0.11 is a IDECTL file inclluded. this one is needed for hotswapping the ibm-ultrabay-drives in notebooks. the one from hdparm (tested up to version 5.9) doesnt work but throws some errors. I'd linke the ebuild for ibm-acpi to be changed in a way that it copies the idectl-file to /sbin where the one from hdparm resides and I'd like it to be protected somehow from being overwritten by updates of hdparm. regards Chabo Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I think the better way would be to fix the hdparm script to work well (if it's a non-intrusive change). base-system: thoughts?
Created attachment 55038 [details, diff] Diff between idectl from hdparm and the one included in ibm-acpi-0.11 FYI
considering ibm-acpi is a packaged geared specifically towards ibm thinkpad's while hdparm is geared towards all ide drives, this doesnt make much sense you should either fix the hdparm version or have the ibm-acpi install its idectl binary as something like 'idectl-file-ibm-acpi'
So no objections to having ibm-acpi install it's binary as /sbin/idectl-ibm-acpi? Reporter, will this fix the issue for you?
sure, would be nice!
Fixed in app-laptop/ibm-acpi-0.11-r1 - thank you for reporting this.
