[Bug 80829] Re: hdparm gives low throughput on Intel SATA systems

2007-04-04 Thread Andrew Henry
im running 2.6.20-13 and dma and 32bit IO cannot be enabled on my SATA
drives (HDD and DVD).  hdparm fails with:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/scd0

/dev/scd0:
 setting 32-bit IO_support flag to 1
 HDIO_SET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
 IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)


Can hdparm really be used for SATA drives??  I installed sdparm and it looks 
like this utility is more suited to SATA, but I cannot find out how to enable 
32bit IO, and it looks like DMA is already enabled anyway on SATA drives.

Anyway, I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo hdparm -t /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb:
 Timing buffered disk reads:  126 MB in  3.02 seconds =  41.66 MB/sec

just to add, maybe this performance is ok, but when watching movies from
CD which shows as /dev/scd0, playback is very choppy.  If dma is enabled
on all SATA devides, then maybe this is something else.

Ok, sounds like it's resolved then. Thanks

you mean attach it?

in the meantime I've now about the double of the speed. which is quite
good I think

You need to attach the dmesg output using the web interface (do no paste
into comment).

Also, retest latest kernel (2.6.20-12).

not sure if that is all you need, as it's very large
