https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229914 ------- Comment #21 from npiggin@novell.com 2007-01-29 23:57 MST ------- OK, well thanks for reporting -- hdparm does have a significant and unexplained drop in numbers. The only difference that hdparm should be doing is reading through the buffer cache rather than pagecache (although in Linux 2.6 kernels this is basically the same thing, it could be a slight difference). I will attach another patch which you can run with the argument of your block device (ie. /dev/sda) and see if the slowdown shows there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
