I have four identical disks as hdb, hdc, hdf, hdg (i.e. one per
cable).
I boot with no special IDE parameters. I use hdparm just to set
the standard things (-u1 -d1 -m16 -c3).
hdb/c run udma2 and hdparm measures them as 15MB/s.
hdf/g (HPT370) run udma4 and come up at 22MB/s.
I test with two concurrent jobs that write/read/delete a 1GB file
on a raid5 build on these disks (fs is reiserfs).
>From time to time I see this message:
probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a
VIA686a motherboard.
probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration.
1) is this something to worry about (data coruption?)
2) is there a fix for this in later kernels or a special patch?
3) is this a mobo specific unfixable bug?
