[SOLVED] Re: Formatting file system too slow on CentOS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Thanks for the help, a solution to this problem is to update the bios, 
and after using the newest version of bios I can use AHCI mode on the 
sata controller, and indeed this is the problem.

But I had to install windows server to update the bios, then installed 
again using Linux.
