I cannot tell from the clip, I think its native SATA since it maps to IRQ 16. However I don't know if it is using AHCI. Check out your BIOS next time you boot. Native SATA support in latest kernels is stable. It actually started wit the early days of 2.6 so its not that recent. The various libraries were only bringing some order to a small chaos of storage devices.
Thanks for your input. I'll do that when I getaround to reboot the box. In the meantime, in continuation for Arieh's "what are these 13 processes?" question I noticed that sendmail keeps accumulating queue runners. I switched it to use one persistant queue runner and forced it to wake it up every 5 minutes (I read somwere that even this single queue runner will stop running if the load is above QueueLA) and the machines seem to have found a new lease on life - their load has dropped dramatically, they startted accepting new connections and the queue's size seems to stabilize. I'm now running queue runners manually to try to shrink the queue. Cheers, --Amos
