 Are you sure it isn't hdparm you're after? It sets dma, read-ahead,
spin-down time parameters and the like for HDs?
 It's a pretty standard util if I'm not mistaken.

If it is the one you want, check
http://freshmeat.net/projects/hdparm/?highlight=hdparm

 If not, sorry.

 There are so many programs with similar names that all do the same
thing.
