running NCQ on your system?
No. This system and the drives pre-date NCQ. I think NCQ is only
implemented in SATA and these are IDE drives. Sometime over the
weekend, I am going to reload SUSE 11 and try to do some more debugging.
BTW: It's back to 10.3 (kernel 2.6.22) running happily with a VMware
server thrashing away at the disks.
This has recycled back to the top of my todo list, I have a server in
mothballs with IDE drives, I'll pull it out, upgrade to FC9 current
(non-rawhide) and see if I have any problems. It's off due to lack of
need, not really obsolete, so it's a fair test. O'll put a dew hundred
GB of raid-1 and beat on it.
