DMA and UDMA

2004-12-29 Thread Agustín Ciciliani
Dear debian-isp, I have just compiled the kernel 2.6.6 in my box, and during boot time it says the following for each disk partition: ** * Warning: The dma on your hard drive is turned off. * * This may really slow down the fsck process

DMA?

Guess it's a FAQ, but do I have dma on? # hdparm -i /dev/hda /dev/hda: Model=ST340810A, FwRev=3.39, SerialNo=5FB3DCX2 Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw15uSec Fixed DTR10Mbs RotSpdTol.5% } RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4 BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=2048kB, MaxMultSect=16

-Balu- Walter posts : but do I have dma on? DMA is not enabled. Have you installed hdparm ? Do an `apt-get install hdparm' and enable DMA by doing `hdparm -d1 /dev/hda'. You can also pass on `-c1 -u1' to hdparm. Please test out the hard disk read timings by doing a`hdparn -t /dev

. Well, there's a kernel option to automatically enable DMA if it's detected, at least in 2.4.18. I don't recall exactly where, and alas, I can't access my box from here :-/. But I compiled the kernel to support my motherboard's chipset, enabled the option in the kernel to automatically enable DMA
