I've not been paying much attention to the linux IDE support but AFAIR SATA supports command queueing, so it wouldn't surprise me if newer PATA disks and/or chipsets do the same. Having said all that, I really would gently push you towards some kind of hardware RAID solution if you can bring yourself to spending some cash - my experience with software RAID under linux has been that performance can be a bit patchy (seems to be luck of the draw whether it works well or not) and recovering a degraded array can sometimes be a bit of a ball ache. -- Miah Gregory _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
