My "cryptic" aside was just a commentary on how counter-intuitive it is. Also, the numbers just don't match up with the media I have. I had to use trial and error. The media I burned has: Write Speed #0: 8.0x1385=11080KB/s Write Speed #1: 6.0x1385=8310KB/s Write Speed #2: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s Or in the speed descriptor section: Speed Descriptor#0: 00/1466335 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#1: 00/1466335 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#2: 00/1466335 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s In no case should speed=1 match to 4x, or speed=2 match to 6x, unless we are counting in speed-order, not listing or number order. No speed setting (or setting speed=3) would then give 8x? The manual page is not really helpful on this issue at all. Does anyone have any idea if there is a patch in the pipeline to correct this 8x issue if it is ide-scsi at fault? Is there a work around involving using hdparm to set a lower DMA mode? - Pete -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
