Polar, Given your results below, I decided to test my own. I'm finding much poorer results (So, count your blessings). My laptop results are:
# ./hdparm -acd /dev/hda /dev/hda: IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) using_dma = 1 (on) readahead = 8 (on) # ./hdparm -t /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 5.00 seconds = 12.79 MB/sec My server, rather old dual PII with SCSI disks: # hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 6.33 seconds = 10.11 MB/sec This is disappointing to say the least, but how can one improve these speeds? Anyone? <<JAV>> > /dev/md0: > Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.58 seconds = 40.50 MB/sec > /dev/hdd: > Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 2.94 seconds = 21.74 MB/sec > -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
