[EUG-LUG:5196] Re: disk read speeds

[Michael Smith]

man hdparm. Seiously though, a good line to use is "hdparm -q -c1 -q -A1 -q -m16 -q -d1 /dev/hdx" At least, that was the subject of a discussion on this list awhile back. That's what mandrake does if you tell it to "use disk optimizations" in installation. I've had some problems with this on lesser machines, but on my ata66 T-bird box, it makes the drive go about 5 times faster. Yummmm..... Bob Crandell wrote: > I've heard this stuff is tweak-able.
