Hello again, Forgot to mention that under Windows dvd drive works fast, so I would rule out a hardware problem.
Some additional info: lspci | grep SATA 00:11.0 SATA controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 SATA Controller [AHCI mode] systool -a -v -m libata Module = "libata" Attributes: initstate = "live" refcnt = "4" srcversion = "8EEDFA91840B8BF4F95490E" version = "3.00" Parameters: acpi_gtf_filter = "7" allow_tpm = "0" ata_probe_timeout = "0" atapi_dmadir = "0" atapi_enabled = "1" atapi_passthru16 = "1" dma = "7" fua = "0" ignore_hpa = "1" noacpi = "0" dma is set to 7, e.g. it's set to all devices (including dvd). lsscsi [2:0:0:0] disk ATA Hitachi HDT72103 ST2O /dev/sda [3:0:0:0] cd/dvd HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH41N MN01 /dev/sr0 [6:0:0:0] disk Generic- Compact Flash 1.00 /dev/sdb [6:0:0:1] disk Generic- SM/xD-Picture 1.00 /dev/sdc [6:0:0:2] disk Generic- SD/MMC 1.00 /dev/sdd [6:0:0:3] disk Generic- MS/MS-Pro/HG 1.00 /dev/sde [6:0:0:4] disk Generic- SD/MMC/MS/MSPRO 1.00 /dev/sdf All devices with the exception of dvd work fast. Any additional hardware information is available on request. I'd like to find a root cause of the problem. Any hints would be appreciated.
