Hi stat, I'm looking forward to see the results! Only suggestions is that perhaps this is not the right place to publish them, maybe a blog post is more appropriate. Have fun with the benchmarking :) 2009/2/18 stat > HI: > > I agree it isn't all that easy but since I have the machines to play

HI: I agree it isn't all that easy but since I have the machines to play around with I am going to take my main machine (the one I am experiencing the issues with and install Win 7 and then use the Richard's python script (cross platform) as described on the site you linked to. It is pretty funny

Hi, it all depends on the benchmark. How do you plan to reproduce on Windows? If you take a look at recent benchmarks, you'll see that Ubuntu performs faster here: http://www.tuxradar.com/content/benchmarked-ubuntu-vs-vista-vs-windows-7 Let me know which kind of test you've done and what

Haven't done it yet but will this weekend. I am not a guru but find it hard to believe that I can get greater transfer speeds between machines than I can within the actual machine. That just makes no sense to me. I have an XP box here and will be testing it with the same drives before I do anyth

Hi Zhang, you're welcome. It is actually possible to get very high performance from SATA disks, comparable to those of SAS or SCSI, by using a technique called short-stroking. If you understand the mechanics of the disks, you can actually build a system with very low latency. You can get this b

Hi Stek79, Thanks for your reply! I understand the hdparm result is the best possible speed. But the difference between 42.84MB/sec and 5MB/sec still shocked me. It kinda implied that the file system (I'm using ext3) needs more optimization to store big files in the way the hard disk can sequen

Hello Zhang, this is a common issue, and is not related to Linux. It is important to understand the testing that we're doing and how a rotational disk works. hdparm test the _sequential_ transfer speed, which is the speed at which data can be transferred from sequential sectors. Real life

Thanks stat! Yes, I used the upgrade tool to install Ibex.. Did you try to do a clean install and fix the issue? (I remember that I tried to boot from the clean 8.10 CD and mount the same disk to test the speed. The speed is the same as I boot from my hard drive. So it seemed the clean install m

I can't for one tell you as think that is the key to the issue, why? For example here are my hdparm rates: /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 54 MB in 3.14 seconds = 17.19 MB/sec s...@stat:~$ sudo hdparm -t /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: Timing buffered disk reads: 218 MB in 3.02 seconds = 72.18

My situation might be related to this bug: I bought a Thinkpad T61 in last October. I erased Vista and installed Ubuntu 8.7 and later upgraded to 8.10. The disk speed seemed slow. I tried the following command to test the real read speed: $ date; cp a_100_MB_file /dev/null; date; The copying tak

Is there any update on this? I have looked for weeks now for some fix or update. The transfer speeds are horribly slow and wonder how this can not be a priority fix. It renders Ibex almost unusable for normal operations. Is this being tracked somewhere else or am I missing something? -- [regr

Hal, it is just the opposite. This bug is not present in Hardy, but it is there in Intrepid. The fact that you notice an improvement, IMHO means that you are not hitting this bug actually. 2009/1/7 Hal > This bug seems to be fixed in 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex). All systems I > reported above exhi

This bug seems to be fixed in 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex). All systems I reported above exhibit improved performance in 8.10 as well as several more with Compact Flash adapters. A Fix for this in Hardy would be good to allow continued use of an LTS system. -- [regression]Slow disk transfer rate on Har

Can you explain what this means to those of us suffering from the extremely poor IDE performance on Hardy etc? I read thru the link (KernelTeamBugPolicies) and the impression I get is that this bug has been de-prioritized, and no one is looking into why any more. I understand if there are not en
