Writing flies at 70MB/s, which is extremely good for those desktop-grade disks (Seagate Barracuda SATA 250GB @7200RPM). Thank you very much! But... who do you think I should bug to make this the system default? Does write caching need to be enabled by the driver itself, in the SCSI layer or perhaps by the distro initscripts? -- // Bernardo Innocenti - Develer S.r.l., R&D dept. \X/ http://www.develer.com/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
