thanks

Mark,

When you get a minute, can you take a look at this?  I just have no idea
why this would be happening.  Or, rather, I have no idea why the test
performed should return true in one case and false in another.

Thanksm

Package: hdparm
Version: 6.1-2
Severity: normal

hdparm -tTi shows an uncomplete udma list for a harddisk drive when the
drive is connected as master with an ide burner (both P-ATA) at the same
controller port. Without the burner output is correct. See:

read speed is the same as for the drive connected alone, so it seems to
be running udma6:

             Timing cached reads:   3120 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1559.46

              Timing buffered disk reads:  222 MB in  3.02 seconds =
              73.59 MB/sec

As one can see, current udma mode is marked correctly by a star, which
is missing in the first example.

So the so called "Independent Device Timing" seems to be supported by
the chipset (NForce4 Ultra), otherwise the harddisk drive should run
udma2 in the first example, which it doesn't.

More testing can be done if wished.
