I installed lvm on my new machine which is IBM thinkpad R40. DMA is set up, as from hdparm /dev/hda the output is :
/dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 8 (on) geometry = 5168/240/63, sectors = 78140160, start = 0 but when I copy a large file which is about 700m from one place to another, it costs me 120s, I don't know what's wrong with the dma. Any ideas? -- Zeng Nan Simple is Beautiful. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
