This is what I get on my office machine :
[root@ho /root]# hdparm -t /dev/hda6
/dev/hda6:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 3.08 seconds = 20.78 MB/sec
[root@ho /root]# hdparm -t /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 3.10 seconds = 20.65 MB/sec
[root@ho /root]# hdparm -t /dev/hda1
/dev/hda1:
Timing buffered disk reads: read() failed: Success
/dev/hda6 - root
/dev/hda1 - boot
Will try at home. But I don't think it will be different for /dev/hda or
/dev/hdaN since partitions are on the same HDD. How can there be different
speeds for different partitions on the same Disk ?
Warm Regards
