Not always true; the default blocksize is one block, so increasing that
with bs (or ibs or obs) can speed things up significantly.

Hello,
I got a sound blaster live valve on a mandrake 8.0, the setup program
manage to get it to work nicely :) . but whenever I play a mp3 track. The
song will start with a short "buzzing" sound that go away immediately .
This buzzing sound appears at every start of a track
I was wondering what it is and can i get rid of it? Strangely I don't
have such a problem when I use the KDE media player???.
Thank you for reading

As others have written, the 'bs' option of dd can make a lot of
difference(with dma enabled of course). But to give you figures, the
default block size of 512 bytes is atleast(approx) *10 times slower*
than a blocksize of 1 megabyte. The syntax of the command
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc bs=1M

Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried to play with block size, and things were
improved: now, the same copy lasts for 2 hours instead of 3 hours and a half.
It seems that a block size of 8kb or 16kb doesn't make much difference. I'll
also, as suggested, look forward to check whether DMA mode is enabled or not.
I'll let you know results.
Thanks.

Partition Magic 6.0 will allow swap files larger than 128Mb (just
tried it). Too bad Partition Magic 6.0 doesn't know how to handle
LILO.

Interesting.
I'm running SuSE 7.1 on an 8KTA3 MB,, and don't have any problems with
*Linux*; but when I run the 2.4 kernel, and shut down Linux and reboot
to Win 98 (Dual boot machine; using floppy for LILO) I get a 'Missing or
Corrupt VMM386.vxd' error message. 98 then shuts it's self off. When I
turn the power back on, Win 98 will boot perfectly. This doesn't happen
using the 2.2.18 kernel.
Since I'm 'kinda new to Linux, and not a kernel hacker, I use the
kernels as set up by SuSE during install.
Just thought I'd add my 2 cents worth.

Subject: LTmodem no dial tone
Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 09:05:46 -0600
This is the first time that I have set up a dial up connection under Linux.
I have a Lucent modem and I assume that I installed the ltmodem-5.78e driver
correctly. When I do a lsmod it shows up as being loaded. When I try to
connect with pon I get no error messages at all, and when I check for
messages with plog all that I get is pppd exit. In my /var/log/messages
file I get a no dial tone error message. I am running Debian potato and
configured pppd with pppconfig were I set the modem port to /dev/modem which
is a link to /dev/ttyLTO.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I also have an ide Plextor 8432 as slave to a Cdrom on ide1. HDD's
are on ide0. Both 7.2 and 8.0 have always set it up and configured it
correctly during install.

FWIW, here's my fstab
/dev/hdb6 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0

none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0
cdrom2 is the Plex, cdrom is a BCD 40x. DON't mess with mtab! It's
generated from your fstab, so only edit fstab. BUT, I think you have
some other problem. 8.0 should have detected and automagically setup
your Plex. What does 'cdrecord -scanbus' say? Mine is typical:

For my own information, edification and enjoyment; what's wrong with
cp -ax / /mnt/newdisk ? I use this regularly for mirroring my /
install on a seperate device. I verify this with a find cmp sequence
taken from the Hard Drive Upgrade mini How To.

Hi,
I've installed RH7.1, and it successfully detected my video card (Voodoo
Banshee) and monitor, but when I loaded X I just got a screen full of
interference. I tried installing just the Generic VGA option instead, and
I can get into X now, but there's a really bad interference which looks
like its due to hard disk access, appearing as white dots all over the
screen.
Anyone else experienced anything like this? It was fien with RH6.2 :)

Subject: Can't get disk DMA with PIIX
Date: 29 May 2001 10:36:29 -0700
I'd greatly appreciate any advice for getting DMA working on my ide
disk. I've scoured the lists, google, and read as much as I can of the
ide docs and ide.c, ide-disk.c, and ide-dma.c comments but none have
helped.
I must be missing something basic. I'm running kernel 2.2.19 with
Andre's ide patch applied. I've tried passing ide0=dma and other
arguments to the kernel. I've tried all the possible settings in bios.
If I try to turn on dma with hdparm 3.6 (compiled against this kernel)
I get this message:
hdparm -d1 /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)
If I try hdparm -X34 /dev/hda I get this:
/dev/hda:
setting xfermode to 34 (multiword DMA mode2)
ide0: unexpected interrupt, status=0x58
Any suggestions?
