The HDDs are running of the motherboard controller. I have two hdds on one controller, two cd-roms (1 reader, 1 rewriter) on the other. This test was performed when ripping the Britney Spears Sometimes single to create a wav file. cdrecord produces some interuption, I used cdparanoia becausethat seems to be much worse so that you can seethe effects. This also occurs when I write cd-roms, but I don't want to waste a couple of cds unless you think it's useful in which case I will. > b) verify that you do not run SCSI/EIDE in non bus master mode. > As far as I am aware they are in Bus master mode. The machine was built by myself and is less than 1 year old (PII 400 Mhz 128Mb RAM, 256 MbSWAP (128Mb on each of the two hdds). I did not adjust this setting so I assume that it is using Bus mastering mode which is normal on all modern machines. > c) attach a output from vmstat 2 > vmstat.out > (play sound, start this command, wait 5 secs, start disk activity, > wait 5 secs, stop vmstat with ^C > I already had sound playing, started the command, waited 5 secs, started ripping, continued until ripping finished, waited a couple of secs (I think 5) and then stopped vmstat. During the ripping there was a horrible "slow motiony slow down" of the music, like when you hold a tape and physically slow it down as it moves inside a tape player. Also, it often "cut's out" for several seconds at a time as it did once or twice here. > > This was checked on Wakkos machine, and it indicated that no bus > mastering / DMA was used. > Note: my SB16SCSI II does not have DMA enabled by default... and > ISA cards can not do bus mastering on their own.) > I assume you are refering to the sbs which have a hdd controller onboard? Mine are on the motherboard separate from the sb64.
