rcidedma start (after configuring in rc.config) perhaps Regards Anders On Saturday 16 June 2001 00:03, Mark W. Knecht wrote:
God it's wonderful to know that I'm not the only person that has these problems. I heard on the postfix reflector the other day that "The first thing everyone does is turn on DMA".
My /etc/rc.d/init.d/boot.local file has the commands I'm using. I'd love to know what the 'right' way to do it is. (See my earlier post about how I suck at configuring machines!)

Um, I notice that my drives are in the 16 bit mode....I can set them with
hdparm -c 1 /dev/hda
But how do you make them boot that way?
OK - it does look like the drive so far, but the unbuffered speeds look like DMA is turned off. Let's see if that helps:
hdparm -v /dev/hda will tell us how the drive is set up hdparm -c 1 -d 1 /dev/hda should enable DMA if it's off hdparm -tT /dev/hda will test speeds again
