Hi, Henrik For sure, DMA is not running, my system is very slow each time I access my disks (CPU eating). _______________________ hdparm -tT /dev/hd{a,c} /dev/hda: Timing cached reads: 768 MB in 2.01 seconds = 382.53 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 8 MB in 3.26 seconds = 2.45 MB/sec /dev/hdc: Timing cached reads: 144 MB in 2.00 seconds = 71.87 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 8 MB in 3.42 seconds = 2.34 MB/sec ______________________ hdparm -v /dev/hd{a,c} /dev/hda: multcount = 1 (on) IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 0 (off) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 160086528, start = 0 /dev/hdc: multcount = 1 (on) IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 0 (off) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 19929/255/63, sectors = 320173056, start = 0 ________________________ hdparm -d1 /dev/hd{a,c} /dev/hda: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) /dev/hdc: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) TIA, David > > HS > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
