OK, the I'll switch to libata as soon I have hacked noflushd to work
with those sd* devices (I like the log entries from noflushd when the
disk spins up/down, and I don't like the laptop-mode because it doesn't
create such log entries).
How exactly? Does the kernel detect itself that a new device is
inserted? Or do I need other tools? Or sysfs triggers?
