Hi all! Since hdd performance of the Thecus N2100 is not so perfect with debian etch (stable, kernel 2.6.18) I did an upgrade to lenny with kernel 2.6.26 including the DMA patches by Martin Michlmayr.
Thanks to Martin the hard drive performance is now much better (173 MB/s cached / 48 MB/s buffered reads). Unfortunately hdd spindown is no longer working. Since my seagate hdd is not able to report the drive temperature without wake up from spindown, is in the 2.6.26 kernel a hdd temp checking mechanism working? Or can give me anyone else a hint what I have to check? Since I am not so familiar with kernel (re)compilation I am not able to create an appropriate kernel needed for tools like atop which is able to report processes responsible for disk i/o. Many thanks in advance. Cheers Markus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
