had some trouble finding the file I had to patch but managed
(debian/patches/67_init_hddown.dpatch.orig). Unfortunately this does not
fix my problem allthough  have a system that support the feature (see below)

uname -a
Linux tri-yann3 2.6.22.5 #3 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 25 21:07:19 CEST 2007
x86_64 GNU/Linux

ls /sys/block/sda/device/scsi_disk\:3\:0\:0\:0
allow_restart  cache_type  device  FUA  manage_start_stop  subsystem  uevent


BTW, I saw other patches applyed in svn branches to init scripts. Are
they not relevant?
