/sbin/hdparm -t /dev/hda which does an uncached O_DIRECT 20MB read from the IDE disk, it's the real disk bandwidth not a cached number. Also, try "/sbin/hdparm -c3 -m16 -d1 -X34 /dev/hda" if the performance stinks even worse than the 6.6MB I'm getting. DMA tends to not get enabled by default unless the disk is in the IDE layer white list, the Seagate's that came standard in Ultra5 and Ultra10 systems just so happen to be in that white list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
