If you are having problems with HD speed, use HDPARM. I have a UDMA/66 HD that was
stuck to 4meg/sec, so I asked this list what I could do. After I loaded HDPARM,
I got about 22meg/sec.
A little bit of a difference. :-) Be careful with this though!!!!! I put the HD in
my firewall to sleep and it really "slept" if you know what I mean. I was down for
about an hour......
Here is what I use in rc.local.
/sbin/hdparm -d1 -c1 /dev/hda
Good luck!!!
