[e-smith-devinfo] hdparm
Hi all, Yesterday I reinstalled my e-smith server and upgraded it to SME server v5.0...yesyes...that's not shocking at all I guess :) But...and that's my question...is e-smith/sme server capable to auto detect if my harddisk can be run with hdparm (which is a sort of DMA I guess?)?? In the past I installed e-smith 4.1.2 and there I could enable hdparm and it was working quite well. Why is it now disabled by default and why can I not choose to enable it at a new setup?? How can I enable it afterwards??

[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Thank you Darrell for your howto! Do you (or one of the developers) also know why it is disabled by default? Is it only for tweakers? :) It was reported to cause problems for some. My guess is older hardware was the cause. I have used it on all 4.1.2 server installs and have had no issues. I use AOpen MX3S ATA100 motherboards. I very much appreciate the performance improvement for the ide hdd(s). I have only had SME5 since the public release (about a week) but again can report no problems using DMA on the above hardware. Bear in mind testing has been on my internal test server. I have not moved any production machines to SME5 as yet.

My guess is older hardware was the cause. No, it was reported to cause file corruption problems even on some new hardware. Consistent with our simple and reliable above all else philosophy, we have disabled it by default and (for simplicity) removed it from the user interface. In our experience, server performance is only rarely limited by disk performance. The performance tweaking option is still there for those who know and care.
