Hi,
I want the following feature:
Linux would be able (if this is possible for software) to deliver to the user the state of the HDD, whether it is active.
I mean that Linux would have a module which would export to user space a boolean flag (probably a semaphore) which would be true while the HDD red lamp is shining and false while it is dark.
That is I want sofrware to provide the same info as this hadrware HDD indicator on the front panel of most PCs.
(Then a Gnome applet would show it.)
I just look under the table to check HDD status to often and would instead like to see it on the monitor.
Just a little wish. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
