Hi
after a helter skelter search everywhere, this is what iam told (not
necessarily what is right)
a) on some chipsets hdparm results are broken
b) download bonnie (search freshmeat)
c) run the bonnie -s nnn (n>RAM, say 200)
d) compare bonnie results under the two kernels e.g. 2.2 and 2.4
I use hdparm -d1c1m16X66pW1 /dev/hd? (?=hard disk) for best results under
kernel 2.4.x.
Hope this helps and calls off the wolves on the i810 and kernel 2.4 & hdparm
results.
