Hey. I had the same problem with my setup. 8 sata disks for storage (single disk, 4x320 and 4x500) and ide (2x200gb raid 1) for the system. The slow speed on my sata disks just appeared one day like a month ago and I have googled like a maniac in search for a fix. Been checking these comments now and then, but still no fix.
Today my raid1 array "crashed". When I booted, ubuntu said that one of my disks is fubar. Since it's a raid1 array, the other disk is fully functional. I booted like normal from the other disk and I did a fsck on the "crashed" partition. Then I re-added the partition to the array by typing "mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdi1", where md0 is the raid1 array and sdi1 is the "crashed" ide-drive-partition. The recreation of the array was successful and I didn't think much of it after that. A few hours later I was unpacking stuff from one of the 500GB drives to my regular windows computer (via samba) and I realized that the speed was back at normal. Just like it was a month ago. Normally when I had the sata speed problem, the unpacking was at around 8-10MB/s. Now I'm at around 30MB/s (through a crappy switch, this is my max throughput). I have no understanding of how the problem started or how it was fixed, but my problem with the sata speed is gone. -- Slow SATA performance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119730 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
