Now im confused. So /dev/hda is the cdrom and Im looking at the wrong device? Had a look at /etc/fstab, and I've got something like this: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 ... So, do I need to work out what device this label represents and run hdparm on that? If so, how do I work out what device a label corresponds to?
