# hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 40007761920, start = 0 and the tests are better: /dev/hda: Timing cached reads: 1332 MB in 2.01 seconds = 664.11 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 76 MB in 3.01 seconds = 25.25 MB/sec well, at least the buffered one. Can it be tuned more ? Thanks -- Pupeno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (http://pupeno.com) Reading ? Science Fiction ? http://sfreaders.com.ar
