https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=266845 ------- Comment #16 from volker3204@paradise.net.nz 2007-05-04 19:24 MST ------- Copying 1GB of files from this SATA disk w USB adapter back to the disk (different directory) on XP happens repeatedly with no trouble, and at 23MB/s (2GB transfer, 1GB reading, 1GB writing). P4 2.6GHz, HP job, not the newest. Obviously M$ is driving this disk differently than Linux. On SuSE 9.3, P4 1.6GHz box, Compaq job, this SATA disk with USE adapter crawls at 1.1MB/s but appears to work. mkfs -text3 or -text2 complete eventually, copying a 96MB file from disk to disk again works too. There was never any warning/error in dmesg or syslog for the whole of this test. 100MB of dd write work too. Using subfs. On 10.2 AMD64, if the fs is already on disk, writing a 100MB file to the fs works fine, but at 430kbyte/s, it's mounted sync by auto-whichever. Reading 1GB with dd is ok. Unmounting and manually mounting without sync, writing a 10MB file with dd hangs immediately I type sync. So it's a kernel problem; no reason to assume any of the HW involved is faulty. However, Hitachi has replied with some info re this disk's firmware being possibly out of the ordinary. Before I post details I want to follow up on a few more things. -- 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.
