use hdparm -v /dev/hda
to see what your settings are. here's the rather default set:
/dev/hda:
multcount = 0 (off)
I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
All except the dma thing, which I enabled for the huge performance
boost. Whether its safe for you or not who knows.
