This is not exactly the old "My DMA is turned off - how do I turn it on" question, but one about who is in charge.

The /etc/hdparm.conf is an obvious place to control DMA and corresponds to other distros. But there is also a /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh that also has a DMA switch at the bottom for each drive.

Questions. Why two sets of switches? Who overrides who? Which one should be used and which one commented out? Googling so far has not explained the reason for having both.

Thanks
