Description ferret 2004-02-08 17:07:15 UTC

The new glibc has a var "readahead" in /usr/include/bits/fcntl.h that clashes
with a variable of the same name in hdparm. I was unsure whether it's appropriate
to fix glibc or hdparm, so I went for the latter since it's smaller and less
scary. Patch follows.
