/dev/hde: IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.61 seconds =209.84 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.37 seconds = 46.72 MB/sec Thanks, Ryan On Thu, 2003-02-13 at 19:58, Charles A Edwards wrote: > On Thu, 13 Feb 2003 19:08:10 -0600 > Ryan Moe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I guess it could be that my hd perhaps isn't configured correctly and > > the real bottleneck isn't my CDR eating up CPU but my HD eating up CPU > > to send data to the CDR. > > Can you post the output of > # hdparm -ctT /dev/hde > > > Charles > > -- > Love your neighbour, yet don't pull down your hedge. > -- Benjamin Franklin > ------------------------- > Mandrake Linux 9.1 > Kernel- 2.4.21pre4-6mdk > ------------------------- > >
