Yeah!

I'm fast now!

crocodile ~ # hdparm -Tt /dev/mapper/sil_afbgccdfdfcd

/dev/mapper/sil_afbgccdfdfcd:
Timing cached reads:   3416 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1707.89 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads:  342 MB in  3.01 seconds = 113.69 MB/sec

It was actually a display/computation error. I was hitting a weird bug detailed at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3927 which meant my RTC was ticking twice as much as it should have been, or something - so hdparm thought that twice as much time had passed whilst running the test...

Hope this helps anyone who may be seeing the same issue.

Cheers
James

Hi All

Yes, I am slow :) It's strange as I have 3Gb of DDR400 (PC3200) in 128bit mode.

Maybe it's another symptom of my dodgy BIOS. I will perhaps return it and get a different board. I expect rather high performance from my expensive 10k rpm raptors when striped!

Thanks
James

Yes, that is an IDE disk
