Re: Which patch? Kernel 2.2.14

My problem is the MVP3 chipset is not seen by linux even with this patch as ATA-66 compatible. My ATA-33 drive shows better transfer rates with tiobench than the ATA-66... hdparm won't allow me to set ATA-66 either... Tells me UDMA modes 3/4 are not available. In the Dmesg it identifies the

IBM ServeRAID Benchmark

Just FYI, a run on a Netfinity 5000 with a ServeRAID card and two IBM 8G LVD disks plugged into a backplane. I can dig up the model if it makes things more meaningful. mem=16M, runlevel 1, numruns 5.. you know the drill. AFAICS to me the ServeRAID is LVD as well, which should give us 80Mb/s max t

raid5 checksumming chooses wrong function

When booting my new Dell 4400, pre-installed with Red Hat 6.1, the raid5 checksumming function it chooses is not the fastest. I get: raid5: measuring checksumming speed raid5: KNI detected,... pIII_kni: 1078.611 MB/sec raid5: MMX detected,... pII_mmx : 1304.925

SmartArray221 with RH61(followup)
