[Devil-linux-software] hdparm 9.22 has been released [freshmeat.net]

[freshmeat.net <no...@fr...>]

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

barsnick just announced version 9.22 of hdparm on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

Support for SATA SSD TRIM commands was enhanced with the introduction of several
arguments. In addition, an experimental script (wiper.sh) is provided which
calculates a list of unallocated blocks within a filesystem, and informs the SSD
firmware of those blocks. In some cases, this can restore a sluggish SSD to
nearly-new speeds again. Furthermore, a workaround to an observed ext4 bug with
FIEMAP's "LAST" flag was added, and the "-E" flag was modified to work with
modern DVD drives.

Project description:

hdparm is a Linux shell utility for viewing and manipulating various IDE drive
and driver parameters. Most drives can benefit from improved performance using a
command similar to "hdparm -qm8 -qu1 -qc1 -qd1 /dev/hda".
