I've also seen very poor performance on my Promise FastTrak TX2 'Lite' controller on my A7V333 motherboard. I get 3-5MB/sec, and copying files takes a very long time. When I move it back to the 'normal' ata controller the speed goes up to the more normal 40-45MB/sec. Both controllers detect and use ATA100. I'm running 5.0-RELEASE-p3. Have the recent ata patches maybe sorted this? >dd if=/dev/zero of=myfile bs=1024k count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 104857600 bytes transferred in 31.741188 secs (3303518 bytes/sec) dmesg output: atapci0: <Promise TX2 ATA133 controller> port 0xb400-0xb40f,0xb800-0xb803,0xd000-0xd007,0xd400-0xd403,0xd800-0xd807 mem 0xd4800000-0xd4803fff irq 6 at device 6.0 on pci0 atapci1: <VIA 8233 ATA133 controller> port 0x9400-0x940f at device 17.1 on pci0 ad0: 76219 <WDC WD800BB-00CAA1> [155061/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 (using motherboard IDE) ar0: 58644MB <ATA RAID0 array> [7476/255/63] status: READY subdisks (using FastTrak controller) Bruce Cran To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
