I have installed hdparm, I think it was a dependency of laptop-mode-tools, I forget. My hard drive is SATA and when I used following command
To check the status of the disc but this error appears:
Code:
/dev/sda:
HDIO_GET_BUSSTATE failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Then someone suggested me that I have to run hdparm as root:
Code:
hdparm -C -A -B /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
drive state is: active/idle
look-ahead = 1 (on)
APM_level = 254
Keep in mind that you have to be very careful with it since it can "kill" to your HDD...While reading the manual just in case.
