           Summary: hdparm settings are reset during KDE startup
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: wonko at wonkology.org


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

Disk drive settings like acoustic management or spindown time are somehow being
reset when KDE starts up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. hdparm -M /dev/sda # get current setting, 0 for me
2. hdparm -M 128 /dev/sda # change to most quiet mode
3. log into KDE


Actual Results:  
hdparm -M /dev/sda again gives 0

Expected Results:  
hdparm -M /dev/sda should return 128

Other settings are also affected. I set the spindown time in
/etc/init.d/hdparm, but when loging into KDE, I have to start the script again
to make any of its settings work.

I also like some drives to spin down immeadiately after bootup, but they all
spin up during login, even if no partitions are mounted.
