N00bee question: How does one tell if a machine's disk controller is an ATA-SATA converter? The output of `lspci|fgrep -i sata' is: 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB SATA AHCI Controller\ (rev 09) suggests a real SATA. These references to ATA in "dmesg", however, make me wonder. ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata1.00: ATA-7: WDC WD1600JS-75NCB3, 10.02E04, max UDMA/133 ata1.00: 312500000 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32) ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133 ata2: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) ata2.00: ATA-7: ST3160812AS, 3.ADJ, max UDMA/133 ata2.00: 312500000 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32) ata2.00: configured for UDMA/133 ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata3.00: ATA-7: ST3500630NS, 3.AEK, max UDMA/133 ata3.00: 976773168 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32) ata3.00: configured for UDMA/133 Dean - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
