Hi,
Thanx. Here I are my details. This is a P-III @500MHz, 128MB
RAM with a Promise Tech UDMA-66 card, with special 80 core ata-66 ide
cable, and a western digital cavier WD WDC136AA 13 GB ata-66 disk. Kernel
is 2.2.14, with andre hedrick's patches.
I have another i810 based box at home, on which I did the
u8/samsung testing. I will post those results tomorrow.
But I noticed one interesting thing, your hdparm doesn't have udma
modes listed in hdparm output, so you are probably running in PIO mode 4,
which has a max throughput around 16 MB/s.
In any case thanx for the info. I think we should poll as many
people on the list and collate their experiences about the hardware they
have, and possibly put that info somewhere on the linux-india list. It
should help a lot of people in making wise and informed decisions about
hardware purchases before hand rather than fret and fume that their h/w
doesn't work / doesn't work optimally / is unstable....
May be we can have something like /. polls or "ask /." ???
Regards,
Kedar.
