Checked already if this could be the bottleneck with hdparm?
My drive is an SATA WD SE16 500G attached to the onboard SATA
controller. It's part of the Intel 965P southbridge IHC8 chip. With
kernel 2.6.18 I can use either AHCI or IDE mode for this controller
and have my SATA drive show up as ata1 at /dev/sda. hdparm doesn't
return info about DMA for SATA drives by testing performance looks
pretty good:
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 12644 MB in 2.00 seconds = 6326.00 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 210 MB in 3.01 seconds = 69.79 MB/sec
Here is what the kernel says about it when the drivers load. All in
all, this looks pretty normal to me. Unless there's some bug in the
SATA code causing this problem? Anyone else using Fusion cards with
SATA drives?
I appreciate the fresh set of eyes looking it over.
