I have mandrake linux 9.1 and ASUS A7N8X deluxe MB with nforce chipset Athlon
2400. The drive is reported as LBA 100 ATA by BIOS during POST. It is 7200 rpm
drive.
Present info about my /dev/hdb is as follows.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lvgandhi]# hdparm /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 4870/255/63, sectors = 78242976, start = 0

[EMAIL PROTECTED] lvgandhi]# hdparm -tT /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.38 seconds =336.84 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 2.22 seconds = 28.83 MB/sec
Same hdd when it was fitted in old kobian intel 815 chiset mb with intel PIII
866 used to give the above figs as 90 and 42. By the way any body can explain
the real life significance of these two values.
In hdparm -i /dev/hdb, it was reported udma5.
I feel udma factor is reason for reduction in rate from 42 to 29. I tried
hdparm -X 69 /dev/hdb. Though it says it sets to X69, still it remains udma2
when I check with hdparm -i /dev/hdb.
I am at loss to understand what to do.
