[Lincs] Hdparm commands

[Chris Adams]

My laptop (ide drive) is listed as /dev/sda

I try to do:

root# hdparm -d1 -S60

and i get


/dev/sda:
 setting using_dma to 0 (off)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
 setting standby to 60 (5 minutes)
 HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device


Do i need a diffrent program program for this ?
