That's totally wrong expectaion. What I am seeing seems quite adequate speed for UltraDMA. And cached reads don't measure disk transfer speed but rather your CPU bus/memory bandwidth. > May it help (googled) > i found that related info: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/119730 > http://osdir.com/ml/ide/2005-03/msg00064.html The latter reports DMA timeouts -- now that's an error indeed. But the report is against 2.6.11. :-) I suggest this to be resolved INVALID. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
