Dear all,

why is acoustic management via hdparm not supported for sata disks?

# hdparm -M /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
acoustic = not supported

No, that means that your *drive* doesn't support it.
Check for yourself, with "hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep Acoustic".

Is there any patch flying around that already enables this or even any

No patch required -- hdparm (newer versions) already do this correctly.

Cheers
