Hi All & Raul, who was asking after DMA stuff. Well, try this one.... hdparm -d1c3X34S 60 /dev/hda should give you a wee boast. Have a look around for "the Linux Ultra-DMA Mini HOwTo." Hope that helps. *BFN* Greek Geek :-) RIP George Harrison; may the Dark Horse find the Wholespace. Raúl Gutiérrez Segalés wrote:

/dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 0 (off) keepsettings = 0 (off) nowerr = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 8 (on) geometry = 1216/255/63, sectors = 19541088, start = 0
may I simply :
# hdparm -d1 /dev/hda
any other harddrive performance improving tip? :-)
Thanks,
Raul
