Howto activate DMA Mode on HardDisk Drive
I have Suse 8.2, harddrive IDE Seagate 40gb 2mb, Gigabyte GA7VT600. How can i activate my HardDisk UDMA.
I have Linux from a few weeks and this problem makes me crazy, because i'm working with only 128mb ram in KDE, and the speed of hard-drive is very important for my work. Thanks for help, and if i make post in a wrong forum please someone delete this post. |
read the man page...........
Code:
man hdparm |
try this:
hdparm -c1 /dev/hda; hdparm -X68 /dev/hda; add this to your /etc/init.d/boot.local file as you use suse and pay attention to your boot protocol. If you have bonnie installed you can benchmark your harddrive before the hdparms and afterwards, u'll see! Let me know if I helped! salbox |
I hope that i will make it with your help. I can't try right now your advices, but thanks a lot.
I will edit my post with the results of my work kombinated with your help :) |
