The Hdparm package contains an utility that is useful for controlling ATA/IDE controllers and hard drives both to increase performance and sometimes to increase stability.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.5 platform.
As well as being useful, incorrect usage of Hdparm can destroy your information and in rare cases, drives. Use with caution and make sure you know what you are doing. If in doubt, it is recommended that you leave the default kernel parameters alone.

Build Hdparm by running the following command:
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
Note that by default, hdparm is installed in
/sbin
as some systems may require
it during the boot process before /usr
is mounted. If you wish to install
hdparm under the
/usr
hierarchy, then replace the
above command with the following:
make binprefix=/usr install
