Silicon Image 3114 and Seagate disks

2005-07-22 Thread Steve Sutphen
I have a system with a Tyan S2882 mother board that has a Silicon Image Si3114 SATA controller that I would like to use one of the "blacklisted" Seagate drives on. As has been discussed in this mailing list, when one uses the current driver performance is poor on this combination (I see around 1

Hi Steve, I saw the same thing with a tyan mb and a different Seagate disk, removing from the blacklist sped things up a lot, and fixed some bad kernel response issues (bad response was only with SMP, not with single cpu). I send an email about it several weeks ago to this list detailing wha

Hey Jeff, everyone. This is a resend of patch 3 of my libata hotswap series, wherein I found a silly flaw in my logic. I don't know what kind of crack I was smoking, but I somehow turned "a = a & ~b" in the Promise driver into "a = a ^ b" in my hotswap code, which is clearly wrong. I don't know
