This won't work because when I delete everything else from the copy of the file and leave only what I want, it would mean that everything I might want will not be in effect because my copy of the file would wholly replace the file provided as default. So I can't do this. What I'm trying to do is three things: + make it so that smart information is not being polled from /dev/sda + make it so that DVD drives are not being polled for media changes + make sure that /dev/sda can go into sleep mode without being woken up unless I mount the file system it has on it I have made a service file for systemd so that 'hdparm -S 240 /dev/sda' is being run automatically --- it could use some improvement so that it goes by UUID rather than by the device name, but that's a different problem. Any ideas on how to achieve this? Trying to do anything related to udev is like trying to read 500 pages of a pgp encrypted binary file without being able to decrypt it and without even knowing what kind of file it is :( In case it might be useful for someone: [Unit] Description=enable power saving for hard disk(s) After=syslog.target network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target [Service] Type=simple User=root Group=root ExecStart=/sbin/hdparm -S 240 ExecReload=/sbin/hdparm -S 240 RemainAfterExit=yes [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target -- Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
