The only thing that looks suspect to me is your queue depth.
You'll notice that the actual queue depth being used for your
hard drive is 1:
> Default Tag Queue Depth: 8
> Tagged Queue By Device array for aic7xxx host instance 0:
> {255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255}
> Actual queue depth per device for aic7xxx host instance 0:
> {1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1}
I'd think it should be 8 however. The tape drive, being sequential, is
appropriate to have a depth of 1.
If I look at the same specs on my AIC-7860 (pretty similar to your card),
it looks like this at the same spot:
Default Tag Queue Depth: 8
Tagged Queue By Device array for aic7xxx host instance 1:
{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}
Actual queue depth per device for aic7xxx host instance 1:
{1,8,8,8,8,1,8,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1}
This reflects my bus with HD's at ID's 1-4 and 6, a tape drive at
ID 0, and a DVD-ROM at 5. I've never had reason to complain about
drive performance with this configuration. The significance of your
255's as opposed to the 0's in my config is a mystery to me.
How to fix this is another matter. I would guess that it involves
going into the Adaptec BIOS setup utility which should require a CTRL-B
at some point in the boot process. Dig around in there and look for
something that might be forcing it to not assign higher queue depths
to HD's.
Hope that helps.
