Hi,
I seem to remember isntalling in 'expert' mode a few times, and being
asked whether or not I wanted DMA on my Hard Disks set on.
Now, since I've been short on time, I've been using the 'recommended'
install, and there was no question about DMA, and now I'm trying to
determine how to get that setup again.
I know that the 'hdparm' command will set this up for me, but I'm not
sure what parameters to use. Are there any 'auto-probe' tools that will
'guess' the most optimal hdparm settings for my system?
Anyways, I'd like to use DMA on my system as it give a HUGE performance
increase on disk access (at least the rest of the system doesn't bog
down even if the disk access isn't noticibly faster).
Where is that performance tuning stuff gone?
..John
