Last Feb/Mar/Apr, as I learned Linux, I tried somewhat dilligently to understand if my IDE drives were being used "as fast as possible" -- I have a couple of UDMA/100 and a couple of UDMA/133 devices.
I was thoroughly confused, but I got far enough to roughly guess that my drives were not operating in the old 33 way; but I didn't do anything special. Can somebody explain concisely and/or provide links to *simple* procedures to verify my IDE hard drives and CDs are using "advanced features" and are "tweaked"? Is it reasonable to accept that the kernel will just autodetect things optimally? I know with the Windows kernel you need to download stuff from Intel.com for Windows 2000 or things are in "compatability" mode by default. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
