hey, could you post the out put of hdparm -Tt /dev/hde for me? I've
been tweaking my drive settings and I can't seem to get the drive on
ATA100 controller to perform even equal to how it did on the ATA66
controller. I get:
[root@ilinisa abe]# hdparm -Tt /dev/hde
/dev/hde:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.04 seconds =123.08 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 7.16 seconds = 8.94 MB/sec
