[root@xxxxxxxx root]# hdparm -t /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 2.75 seconds = 23.24 MB/sec
[root@xxxxxxxx root]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 5.6G 3.5G 1.8G 66% /
/dev/hda1 50M 14M 34M 29% /boot
/dev/hda4 2.5G 33M 2.2G 2% /mnt/extra
none 243M 0 243M 0% /dev/shm
I think you are right about having a switch issue. When I tried to use my company's 'remote-desktop' software (Win2K) it was too slow to use. I'm in the process of swapping out the switch... thanks...
