Put your setup in /etc/sysconfig/harddisks
Is there a way I can set my hard disks to use 32 bit access as a defualt.
They are currently using 16 bit. I use hdparm -c1 /dev/hd? to set this but
the changes don't appear to be perminent.
Thanks

root console, then typed hdparm - command not found. I tried man hdparm - no

CD-ROMs before, under any version of Windows, I have to wonder how I

Should hdparm be run for a cdrom device say /dev/hdd after it is mounted?
I have HP 9100c cd writer.
Enabling dma for it is worthwhile or not?

I've got some troublesome readings from two identical hard drives set up the
same. Does anyone know why they are performing so differently? I suppose
hda may be bad, but I was hoping to find some other way to test this. Thanks!

Does your hard drive actually support DMA? If it doesn't you could damage
your data (and possibly the drive itself) by having it turned on.

How do you know that the speed is increased? I have been having problems where
when I use the -d1 option by itself, the next disk access locks things up. I
get around this by explicitly setting the x-fer rate (-X66 for Ultra33, -X68
for Ultra66, and -X69 for Ultra100.)

Found an interesting article on hdparm.
The article stresses extreme caution in using it.
I recommend using hdparm -v /dev/hda (put in your IDE drive)
to find your current settings. I was able to get the

The downside involves just how much data you're reading in. Seeing as how the speed
is now so much greater - about 5 times greater - you run the risk of having your hard
drive coming loose, bouncing around inside the case, and perhaps causing bodily harm
if it should escape altogether.
