So you have to use the UID option in your fstab tu set an owner of all the files on the partition. So look at the UID, GID, UMASK options in "man mount", here is an piece of my fstab : /dev/hdb3 /home/WIN vfatrw,user,uid=1000,gid=0 0 0 -- Nicolas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

To be short : your problem is a kernel_config problem. You must enable DMA in your kernel, as well as the support of your IDE chipset. -- Nicolas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I think you are wrong too :-P The size of the IDE bus ( 16 bits ) didn't change since quitte a while, the only trick they found to increase data rate is to increase the bus frequecy as well. but something interessant is that on Yuval's system hda is on the same bus as a pio interface ( CDROM, Tape... ). And that _must be the reason_ of a slighty slower hard drive. In that way, this bus is maybe blocked at UDMA33 becaus e of the presence of an ATAPI interface. I have a single advice : *never mix HD ans ATAPI devices on a same bus* -- Nicolas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If you get 27MB/s with an Intel chipset, you will probably never get more, but maybe less ( with VIA or SIS chipsets maybe... ) English is not my mother tongue, so sorry if there are some misunderstanding :-) -- Nicolas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

And a 27MB/s data rate is quite corect for an IDE Hard Drive. My latest Seagate Barracuda is given at 55MB/s, and my old Baracuda IV 80GB is given at 30MB/s. In fact, i do not think that hdparm can easily reach the theorical IDE bus speed, as the '-T' flag ( the second of the only two bench flags I know ) gives system mem-buffer I/O speed. -- Nicolas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Are you saying that you managed to use a serial ATA disk with the ICH5 controller and a 2.6.0 kernel ? What options did you activate in the kernel config ? Could you also give a hdparm output to see what performances serial ATA can achieve ? Because, I am really interested with serial ATA but I have to be sure about serial ATA compatibility between my I865ep motherboard ( Abit IS7-E ) and the linux kernel. -- Nicolas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Did you compress your 140Mb system ? the good idea is to put a system.tgz on the flash witch is untared on a ramdisk. You could keep this system on a server, and, after updating, uploading it to the flash disk. Since read-write are limited on flash disks, this wouls be the safest way. -- Nicolas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
