Hi all, Was Drakopt ever released for MDK 7.2???? I have looked on the CD, but it doesn't appear to be there... Can it be rebuilt for 7.2? (since mdk8 can use 2.2.19, which is what I am using, in theory, drakopt would work...) I would like to get the full speed out of my new IBM 61.5 gig 7200rpm Hard disk.. Here are my current results using 2.2.19-4 & reiserfs, MDK7.2, 128mb ram (getting 256 or 512 next week) and a Duron 900 (getting a 1.4ghtz Athlon next week) on a ABIT KT7a with the via 686 southbridge, (latest bios) I was doing this from within KDE, so I don't know if that would make much difference from console... AVERAGE RESULTS: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.13 seconds = 113.27 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.72 seconds = 37.21 MB/sec from what I have heard, 37.21 is pretty good yes? Although I have seen higher cache reads on other drives.... What can I do to improve performance??? or is it not worth the effort to try to improve results considering what they are?? The box is a web server(7 domains, and alot of perl scripts like shopping carts), a masq box, small postfix email server (about 1500 mail a day) using amavisd and content filtering for virus scanning of emails. its also running a very modified pmfirewall, portsentry 1.1, Tripwire and some other stuff. I will be putting Snort on the network soon (I'm Paranoid), but that will most likely be a seperate box... So its a reasonably busy box, the more hdd performance the better.... regards Frank
