Comment 5 for bug 256817

The disk shock protection support will be included in 2.6.28.

Elias Oltmanns, the author of this patch, backported his patch to 2.6.27-rc8. It can be found here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.hdaps.devel/1379

But as the sysfs interface changed, a new hdapsd is needed. There's already a request to add it to the Debian archive: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hdapsd/

Would be great to see it in Intrepid.
