Just what is ultrabayd? [solved]


Recommended Posts

'ning,

 

What it says. It's about the first thing that runs at boot, I think it only appeared during update to KDE 3.4, and all RPMDrake tells me is it's something to do with IBM Thinkpads (I'm on a Toshiba).

 

Anyone know exactly what this thing is/does?

Some thinkpads have a docking bay into which you can hot-swap various drives; I think ultrabayd monitors this and does the appropriate things when you swap from (for e.g.) a floppy to a CD drive in this bay. As the others said, if you don't have such a laptop, you may as well turn it off.

Well... My combo-drive is housed in such a way that makes me think it might be hot-swappable, but I have nothing with which to swap anyway, so it's rather a moot point...

 

I may just give it a try. Nil desperandum and all that... nice knowing you all...
