hdparm?

Can you not do a lot of these things with hdparm for the whole disc rather than individual partitions? And maybe even more?

Can someone give hdparm equivalents to the optimisations he suggests?

I use this, from the Gentoo docs, which is a fairly safe optimisation for any disc:

hdparm -d1 -A1 -m16 -u1 -a64<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/dev/hda
