Hi :) This will query whether the DMA is enabled or not. To enable: # hdparm -d1 /dev/hdX Disable with -d0 Since the email that started the thead is way too naive, We have to suposse we're talking of a hard disk. Don't forget to test whether it works. Turn DMA on and off and try the following command to see what happens. # hdparm -tT /dev/hdX Read the man pages.
