Now, and it's VERY interesting at least for me (and is off-topic in this thread) -- which drive(s) are good at NCQ? I tried numerous SATA (NCQ is about sata, right? :) drives, but NCQ either does nothing in terms of performance or hurts. Yesterday we ordered another drive from Hitachi (their "raid edition" thing), -- will try it tomorrow, but I've no hope here as it's some 5th or 6th model/brand already. (Ol'good SCSI drives, even 10 years old, shows large difference when TCQ is enabled...) Thanks! -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
