toring. Upgrading the BIOS is no longer going to happen, and
upgrading the hardware isn't cost effective, but keeping old systems out
of the landfill is ecologically and financially sound.
The option is a holdover from the past, but so arm some of my clients
and their hardware. ;-)

although I haven't used a kernel newer than... 2.6.18 or so on the old
machines. Since you have a solution I won't suggest you try that with an
old kernel ;-)

And when writing /dev/zero to a drive, if it craps out you have less

it an appropriate time to do this. In addition, the patch was changed to
allow either HIPM or DIPM as a prerequisite for enabling ALPM, rather than
just using HIPM.
I suspect these changes would be useful for servers as well, extending
run time when a failover to UPS is detected.

I looked at these before, did you really run with a chunk size of just
under 16GB, or does "15696M" have some inobvious meaning?

Well, what the driver does is minimal. It just passes through all the
commands to the harddrive. After all, NCQ/TCQ gives the harddrive more

I actually suggested that order because the only
the very last test made. Since the mode
filter is not told what mode will be used but just subtracts modes that
are not allowed this should be safe.
Far better to have a drive which works slowly than one which works
unreliably.

lot of the mailing lists to a news (usenet) server,
since it allows a single copy of a message to be indexed in multiple
