Sounds like either the 'kpatch.sraw' should be improved or 'sraw' removed. I hate doing kernel patches**, a module would be more user friendly. (**on a modem it means DL'ing the kernel source, which is like 35 megs, or around three hours, and an uncertain compile, just for a little patch. A module is usually under 100K.) > PS: maybe you could use sg_read/sg_read_long from sg3-utils package > to benchmark your drives. Thanks for the lead, I didn't know about 'sg3-utils', which works as you say. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
