hde: IBM-DJNA-370910, 8693MB w/1966kB Cache, CHS=17662/16/63, UDMA(66) The above is what I got for my DJNA connected to HPT366. So indeed your disks are running in the ancient PIO mode, which is about as slow as slow can be. The likely cause? The "use DMA by default when available" kernel option is turned off, most likely because it would cause some trouble for some (old) VIA chipsets. And the solution? # hdparm -d -X66 /dev/hde /dev/hdf Should do the trick. -- Chuan-kai Lin
